How bad is it, really, out there, for senior-level professionals?[/quote]

It’s tough. I have a very senior level role posted right now - it reports to the CEO- we’ve had a flood of applications. I get a feeling that many are in desperation mode and are applying to anything and everything. If I think about the ‘middle- maybe - applicants’ meaning they weren’t a strong yes and they weren’t a strong no (‘I’ve only worked at golf courses but I’m a VP!) - these are the ones I haven’t “decisioned” - these are the resumes where the person COULD be a match but they did zero work in tailoring to my job so now they are in a holding pattern. I’ll go to them if the ‘yes’ candidates don’t work out where I need a second batch of candidates, but equally I’ll drop them tomorrow if ten ‘stronger’ ‘better matched’ applicants come in. [/quote]
