ExecuNet, a career management and recruiting resource center for executives and recruiters, today released its Executive Job Index (EJI) data through February 1, 2003. Calculated biweekly since 1997, the EJI measures trends in the executive job market. After reaching a 52-week low during the week of December 29, 2002, the Executive Job Index increased 9.7% in January of 2003.
After trending downward for three consecutive quarters, the Executive Job Index has reversed its course and is beginning to gain momentum, says Mark Anderson, President of ExecuNet. Growing demand across most functions, including General Management, Finance, Sales and Marketing, and Operations suggests companies may be gaining confidence in the economy and starting to search more strongly for top talent. This is good news for the many executives looking to make a transition or who deferred career plans waiting for signs of an economic recovery.
