Staffing is still cyclical
A jaded Dave notes that comments about cyclicality parting ways with staffing is the same ol', same ol':
It sounds like the same thing that people say every time things are good - "this time it'll be different."
Just as every bubble has a new theory, untestable by prior experience, to explain how valuations should be different this time, so too does staffing periodicaly try to convince itself that it is not a cyclical business. But the fundamental remains the same:
Employer demand for employees is cyclical. There's no escaping it.
(p.s. one of the things I love about our business at TheLadders.com is that employee demand for jobs is not cyclical. Yay!)
