Tendencias en la Contratación - Hiring Trends

It's a good idea for every Business Leader to look beyond technology and spend some time examining the business factors that are driving your organizations. After all, a key component in your job is working closely with the business side and understanding what is behind the decision-making processes at your enterprise. As part of this, it's also wise to keep an eye on company-wide hiring (or downsizing). A recent survey from CareerBuilder sheds light on the changes that companies have planned in the coming months to give Businesses a look at the big picture.
