Well, 2017 is finally here.

All across North America, recruiters and HR professionals are getting ready to start filling jobs again...after a long holiday season sent them into their cubicle caves forcing them to slow the hiring process. The coming weeks will see a flurry of job posting activity. For online recruiting sites, the floodgates are about to open. A new job hunting season has begun.

Seeking alternative resources for finding employment? Take a look at our guide, which outlines the finest job posting sites available.

For job seekers this is your time to shine. Start tweaking your resumes and brushing up on your interview skills. Maybe buy a new pair of shoes too. Don't forget to be found by more employers by creating a public profile for yourself on CareerCloud.

For employers this year will test your ability to attract talent. With a dwindling supply of talent you will need to get better at recruiting, sourcing and marketing your jobs. The national unemployment rate currently stands at 4.6% which means you are going to need a number of good reasons to get talent to switch to your firm.
