Recruiting and the Business Cycle

We are at a point in the economic cycle when professional services firms are reassessing their service offerings, value propositions, and go-to-market strategies. For many firms, this also means re-evaluation of their marketing and business development effort as well, and we are receiving inquiries about director-level searches in strategic marketing as well as expertise-based market sector leadership.

Based on previous recessions, we believe that the subsequent stage of increased recruitment activity will be for design professionals ("closer/doers" and project directors) who have experience developing client relationships that lead to new commissions, as well as design leaders with portfolios of market-focused work who have proven track records in business development.

For more information, please refer to "Recession Strategies in a Disruptive Economy," by Marjanne Pearson and Nancy Egan FSMPS, published in the October 2010 edition of Marketer — the journal of the Society for Marketing Professional Services.
