January 11, 2008—Professionals in construction-related industries will continue to see overall compensation down in 2008, but companies are still hiring as they re-direct their efforts away from the residential markets, according to an international recruiting firm specializing in construction-related industries.
In its 2008 Compensation Outlook, Integrity Recruiting says companies continue hiring but are focusing their business toward government and commercial construction.
The Compensation Outlook projects a rise in compensation for professionals working on public works construction projects, tourism-related industries and multi-family housing. Declines are expected for people in the single-family residential construction industry.
Integrity is a leader in filling construction-related positions.
Launched in 2001, the company has grown to serve major markets throughout the United States and internationally, matching hundreds of qualified candidates in construction management, engineering and architectural jobs each year.
In all construction-related fields, companies are turning to people with strong financial backgrounds to help maneuver the economic downturn hitting the industry.
One hot area: anything to support alternative energy, including solar power and wind energy.
