Getting Under The Overqualified Dilemma

The concept of being "overqualified" is intriguing. Job seekers who are desperate for employment rarely agree with this assessment when being denied jobs. If you"ve ever been lumped into the "overqualified" category you are not alone. In fact, you join the ranks of an ever increasing pool of candidates who have a combination of experience, credentials, and/or education that will make you stick out like a sore thumb in the position for which you are applying.

Recruitment Client Activity Hits A 9 Month High

Stephanie, a Recruiter within BD Marketing comments: "The demand for PPC and SEO skills within Yorkshire is outstripping supply by a huge margin at the moment. Some clients are even approaching us with proposals for increased fees just to ensure they get these rare candidates first!"

BD Creative continues to increase its level of business, particularly on the freelance/ contract side, while BD Technical has seen the greatest increase in job activity this month. Harriet Sanders, Head of BD Technical says: "As recent industry studies have shown, there has been a significant rise in online activity, ranging from an increase in the number of users of networking sites through to growing online advertising budgets. This has most certainly trickled down to our technical clients who have seen a surge in the demand for technical applications to support this increased demand."

Chris Crawford, MD of BD comments: "Over the 5 years we have been in existence, we have morphed into mainly a digital media recruitment specialist that has meant we now service a sector that continues to push on during these tough times. Evidence clearly shows the increasing benefits of online advertising and the utilisation of search techniques from the point of view of measuring ROI and with more and more companies taking the focus away from traditional media and investing in digital, this has meant the need for SEO, PPC, Media Planners and Social Media Experts has remained strong.

"On the technical side, we tend to focus on more niche areas, priding ourselves on being able to find candidates with particularly rare skills. The need for highly capable .Net, Actionscript and PHP Developers will never go away. These people remain hard to find as employers do more to retain their key staff, but with a very strong reputation within this area of recruitment, we have been able to not only attract more business month on month in 2009, but we have been able to actually deliver on it, where so many agencies have failed!"
