Despite the demand for their services, confidence among accounting and financial works dropped during the first quarter, according to a survey conducted for recruitment firm Spherion Corporation. The company said fewer financial folks believe the economy is strengthening, fewer reported confidence in the future of their employer, and the percentage of those expressing confidence in their ability to find a new job was unchanged.
For my money, though, the most amusing part of the press release is the company comment that essentially acts as if nothing had changed. Less confidence in the economy? Bah. "The demand that was seen last year for accounting and finance workers has certainly not let up" Not as much faith in the employer? Pshaw. "Employers are grabbing onto top performers as quickly as possible…"
We all know why recruiters do these surveys, and I think Spherion's report is a good one. But, c'mon guys - can't you just spin in a way that doesn't make our brains hurt?
