Because, your people ARE your company! With financial and economic conditions in a critical place, common sense would dictate that companies would start laying off, across the board—and certainly thousands of employees HAVE been. But, as a company, it’s wise to view your human capital as an invaluable asset, not as an operating expense.

Apparently, 2010 is coming to a screeching halt. The 'bailout' leaked. Talent Acquisition Departments have sprung up in most large companies, ostensibly to negate the need for search firms. As we move into our second decade of the 21st Century, the economy has remained in the toilet. Obama's hope and change have left us hoping we even have some change in our pockets. The only place we see bailout money being spent are on those curious street projects that don't seem to need the center islands changed, but are being changed anyway.
Q4 appears to see a bit of ice breaking and hiring appears to be coming back, but if the past years are an indicator, I wouldn't be buying a bigger home or heavily investing based on confidence. Buffing up one's resume couldn't hurt, but no amount of due diligence will be enough to know if a company is a solid investment or not, career-wise. Internationally it doesn't look much better.
As an industry, recruitment is at a crossroads. The grand talent acquisition experiment is underway. If successful, our ranks will be thinned immensely. However, in the end, outsourced recruitment is still the only way to ensure seeing the best talent. In-house efforts are great for non-critical hires, but to receive the best of the best, call Beck/Eastwood.
