80% Of Companies Expect To Add Staff This Year

The results of a recent client survey conducted by JSfirm regarding the hiring outlook for aviation companies in 2010 shows an increase in hiring by aviation firms, according to managing partner Sam Scanlon.  "Everyone wants to know what to expect this year, who will be hiring, for which type of positions and when," Scanlon said.  "Eighty percent (80%) of the companies surveyed expect to hire in 2010, with 72% of these positions being filled equally over the first three quarters. Our results show that the greatest demand for talent will likely be in production (assembly / maintenance) and then flight crew. There will also be healthy growth in the areas of sales, engineering, and management positions."

JSfirm.com, an online employment and resume search tools for aviation professionals, conducted the survey using its extensive database of aviation companies that have relied on using the website to post jobs, search resumes, and find aviation talent for over 10 years.  Scanlon says "To get the pulse of the industry, we reached out to human resource professionals, executives, and the hiring managers."
 
JSfirm has clientele in nearly every segment of the aviation industry, ranging from commercial to military operations and enveloping both the helicopter and fixed wing sectors.  Scanlon states, "Our survey results indicate that we can expect steady growth in various groups across the board."

How is the first quarter of 2010 shaping up?  Scanlon proudly reports "Great! JSfirm.com reached an all time high of 8.2 million hits in January. We have also experienced a 22% increase in job posting activity since October of 2009 and our sales have doubled since this time last year."
