I've got two placements starting today for a large Government client in Northern VA.

2 so far for 2012, and looking at several final interviews being done by the 12th. And we have 2 new clients, which is exciting! I hope to see this continue all year, and trying to be sure we're working smarter each day.

1 being background checked today. Job reqs are pouring in from clients i have been working with in the last year and several from clients i have not even talked to in four or five years.. I don't know how the whole year is going to shake out but it looks to me like we are going to have a strong salmon run between now and about late March. I am striking while the iron is hot.

As a corp recruiter my world is a little different but I was surprised to have 10 interviews scheduled (10 different candidates!) for a variety or roles the week between Christmas and New Years! Just extended 3 offers this week alone. Latest rumor is that 1Q will offer up 170 new reqs... any contract recruiters in Seattle open to a 3-6 month gig? :)

I have 2 in the books and 5 pending. I personally had the busiest December in my 25 year career. 3 placements in Dec is unheard of in our office. We are usually as slow as Molasses until the end of January. I'm very optimistic about 2012.

Internal recruiter - I had 3 new hires start on our first day back, and I had an offer accepted the 2nd day back in the office! Plus I have phone interviews booked all day today, and Hiring Manager interviews booked all day Friday...hooray for hiring!
