Retail Sector Experiencing Hiring Surge

Hire Velocity’s Customer Base More Than Doubles in the Retail Sector

Tampa, FL – Hire Velocity has been recruiting and sourcing for the retail sector since 2004 with a strong track record of success.   The heavy downturn in the retail sector in 2009 resulted in significant layoffs which outpaced hiring tenfold in some cases.  But recently, Hire Velocity has more than doubled their client base in the retail sector with a long list of marquis clients.

 “In 2010, we’re seeing several companies cautiously begin again with their volume hiring, We're attracting a wider base of retail clients given our expertise in this market.” says CEO of Hire Velocity, Valeri Marks.  While the company focuses on Retail, Healthcare, Telecom, Technology, and Professional Services, it is the Retail sector that has been experiencing the most significant level of hiring growth followed by Healthcare.  Many companies are upgrading talent or expanding into new markets.  Many of the volume hiring opportunities are centered around Store Managers, General Mangers and sales personnel. In this market, companies are looking to source great talent who can help drive top line revenues.  Hire Velocity sources IT, Engineering, Finance, Marketing and Sales positions but it is the sales related positions that are the hottest in this slow market.
