Progress During a Transitional Time

1^st Quarter 2021 was rigorous with activity as evident by the completion of 13 search projects and the acquisition of 9 new client partnerships. Our retained searches run across all genres including accounting/finance/banking, human resources, information technology, engineering/operations/manufacturing/supply chain, and sales/marketing. In 2020, the pandemic had a significant impact on working families, as well as, an abrupt pivot in best practices within the physical business or operational setting for companies. Hiring practices were impacted by the pandemic but able to shift seamlessly due to technology and some methods are here to stay as they proved to be effective and efficient. Companies are more methodical in the approach to hiring in that the openings are a result of analyzing the business model and organizational structure to key on personnel realignments, upgrades or replacements. With the vaccine rollout and better understanding of how to mitigate surges than a year ago, companies are looking to grow while also assessing where they can embrace virtualization in some departments permanently. Based on robust hiring trends in 4^th Quarter 2020 and 1^st Quarter 2021, the desire to secure talented team members is evident and a proactive candidate should consider engaging with B&B to get ahead of the competition.
