«It does two things for our client employers. One, it makes them understand they have to search outside the local market for certain skill sets and technical people. And two, they have to consider candidates that they would traditionally have not considered in the past.»

«They can evaluate their current position and say, 'I've had a suspicion I'm being underpaid.' They can test the free-agent market out there for career chances.»

«It's a very tight marketplace with a very short supply of viable talent, and we expect that trend to continue for the next 12 to 18 months. In the manager, senior manager and executive levels, we're seeing even more urgency among employers looking for good candidates both locally and from outside Las Vegas.»

«That concept has not caught on in Las Vegas. The schools need to focus on giving kids better hands-on experience, but employers also need to reach out to the community, build better relationships with schools and make internships more available to students.»

«Candidates that we call 'passive' job seekers, those that are currently looking but would welcome the opportunity to better their situation, are coming to the forefront on many of our searches. They will passively explore the opportunities out there and see if they can strike a better deal and secure a better future for themselves both short and long term. Smart job seekers, even those passive ones, will keep their r?sum?s up to date. Nothing will derail a job search like having to go back and update your r?sum?s. Keeping it up to date and fresh allows job seekers the ability to move on an opportunity the moment it presents itself.»
