Nelson currently has hundreds of roles in its database that are waiting to be filled.
"If we just look towards the end of the year and the retail space coming up, you know production and those companies that are dealing with holidays coming up, that's really going to be driving Q4," Madigan said. "But again, accounting and finance jobs, as well as legal jobs, are on the rise as well. Technology has been kind of flat, for the most part. But, I have seen our job placement uptick in the last 60 days."
Madigan's advice to people looking for work may feel obvious and simple, but it's to "be prepared."
"This pandemic has caused a lot of pain for a lot of people and we as leaders need to be empathetic to that," Madigan continued.
