The Top Recruiting Industries in Top Echelon

It’s hard to believe that it’s already the third quarter of the year, but it’s been a good year so far for recruiters in Top Echelon Network.

Job orders are up. Candidates are up. Placements are up.

All good news—but where exactly are the placements being made? We have the answer to that question!

The chart below represents the top recruiting industries in Top Echelon as of the end of the second quarter (June 30). Although some of the information is not that surprising, some of IS somewhat surprising.

What is NOT surprising

Manufacturing remained the “mac daddy” in Top Echelon, and the disparity has grown even wider. That’s because, as you can see below, 37.2% of all placements in the Network during the past 12 months have been in that industry. It also had 28.7% of the candidates and 9.5% of the job orders.

Also not surprising are the next four industries on the ladder: Engineering, IT, Sales & Marketing, and Healthcare. Those have traditionally been among the top industries in the Network.

What IS surprising

IT has taken a step back at 11.7% of all placements, while Sales & Marketing has taken a step forward at 11.3%. Also taking a step back is Healthcare, which once comprised a healthy (excuse the pun) percentage of the placements in the Network. Its share is now down to 5.9%.

That percentage is the same as Personnel & Human Resources, which has also taken a step forward. That industry wasn’t even on the radar a few years ago, and now it’s tied with Healthcare.

Below are Network statistics for the top recruiting industries in the second quarter, including percentages for job orders, candidates, and placements.
