Did you Know...

Employers and recruiters are constantly looking for good staff and, in a hot job market, they are willing to pay more than ever and are even offering sign-up bonuses.

Employers are having such a difficult time trying to find good employees right now in the mining sector, that they are willing to top current employment offers in order to lure candidates away from their current postings. While we do not encourage employee poaching, this example serves to illustrate the desperate need for good hires at this time.

So make sure your resume is up to date and in the right place for employers and recruiters to find. Mining Employers and Recruiters use the InfoMine Resume Database frequently and agree that InfoMine's resume database is their resume resource of choice.
