Every day, events occur in tens of thousands of firms that lead decision makers to begin the process of privately looking for new people. These events are often reported in local and national publications, newsletters and online. They are essentially signals of emerging jobs... and that hiring will soon follow. What kinds of news events signal emerging jobs?
- An employer receiving new capital
- A firm kicking off a new product
- Executive appointments
- Word of new local business operations
- New contracts being awarded
- Planned relocations
- Major licensing agreements
- Announcements of growth expectations
- Announcements of record sales & profits

They can be expected to need people in all categories: sales, marketing, finance, etc. What’s more, these situations will generally be much less competitive than public openings.
