About - Recruiter’s View
Sooner or later, everything in real life influences the jobs markets. So, our topics here range all over the place.
In our search to discover and share what’s really going on, we are particularly trying to answer the questions:
- Where will jobs be created (and why?)
- Where will jobs be destroyed (and why?)
This is my commentary on what I see and what I think it means.
People sometimes ask my opinion, because they assume a Recruiter’s activity can be a useful indicator.
And in fact, it’s true that I can pick up on changes in the business environment months ahead of the published numbers.
Understanding the implications of those changes is the trick. Daily conversations with business leaders give me the equivalent of perpetual survey results. And talking to candidates is the perfect reality check.
Ultimately, then, my evaluation is largely formed as an extension of what many, many others have been kind enough to share with me.
So, when you think I’ve got it wrong, I encourage you to tell me what you see from your side of the mountain.
We’re all trying to figure this out together.
Thanks for being a part of our effort!

Buying In To Bias
Software written for Recruiters and Hiring Authorities often proposes to overcome bias, using Artificial Intelligence. The premise is, human bias creates blind spots, causing missed opportunities. Shocker: We’re all biased, all the time. That includes the programmers who wrote the software. Every living thing has always had (and always will have) bias. Does that make…
Amazing Employment Numbers
The BLS did some in-your-face editing to conjure up astonishing payroll reports. Anyone using their headline numbers was wildly mistaken. Actual data was horrible. The amazing part was how those numbers were conjured up. It wasn’t any show of initiative that caused me to open the ADP payroll report for January. It was just…
The Tooler’s Dilemma
The American worker used to be proud of his country and proud of his company. What was good for General Motors was good for America. It took real effort to destroy that dynamic. We broke the trust, lost the people, and very nearly eliminated their knowledge. Now, U.S. manufacturers are limping back…
