Vandaag kwam de Monster Employement Index (MEI) over de maand mei uit. De cijfers van deze index zijn volstrekt oninteressant, de uitspraken van Warren Hammond (General Manager Benelux) blijven daarentegen zorgen voor verbazing. De man lijkt namelijk van gekkigheid niet meer te weten wat hij over de resultaten moet zeggen.

Deze keer mogen we deze uitspraak van Hammond optekenen:

After the seasonal dip in January, employer demand has been rising steadily […] this indicates that increasing recruitment activity is becoming increasingly important for employers

Mooi toch? Deze uitspraak is overigens gebaseerd op een sterke stijging van de index. Verleden maand, toen de index niet veranderde ten opzichte van maart zei Hammond dit:

April saw unchanged conditions in online recruitment activity, suggesting employers are reluctant to hire as we approach summer

Today, the Monster Employment Index (MEI) for the month of May came out. The figures of this index are completely uninteresting, however the statements of Warren Hammond (General Manager Benelux) keep ensuring a surprise. The man, out of foolishness, no longer knows what he should say about the results.

This time, we can take down this statement of Hammond:

After the seasonal dip in January, employer demand has been rising steadily […] this indicates that increasing recruitment activity is becoming increasingly important for employers

Nice right? By the way, this statement is based on a sharp rise in the index. Last month, when the index did not change in comparison to March, Hammond said this:

April saw unchanged conditions in online recruitment activity, suggesting employers are reluctant to hire as we approach summer
