Mari-Len wrote an article in the latest CW that I thought was really inventive. After the recent scandal around Monster.com losing all kinds of user information, we realized that resumes — which often include a laundry list of personally indentifying e-mails — are becoming a new vector of attack.

Robert Half’s hiring forecast is out today. The good news: 14 per cent of the CIOs surveyed said they expect to add people in the fourth quarter, while two per cent expect cutbacks. Best-bet verticals: finance, insurance and real estate. Most intriguing was that the consulting firm broke it down by region. Apparently Moutain and Pacific zones are the ideal places to find a job right now. Go west, young IT managers!

We tend to get letters, for example, from people who say they have been looking for months, or that employers’ expectations are uninformed and unrealistic. Hopefully this balances out the various points of view.

With the tightening labour market I am already seeing a shift in the number of job seekers now looking for contract work versus full time. How will this further add to the sourcing difficulties companies are experiencing now?
As an employer, will you adjust your hiring to allow for contract workers?
As an employee will you be looking to make the move to a contractor?
