Principal's Report

It typically takes four months to fill a senior position in an A/E firm, according to Jeff Simeone, a project operations manager with the design business management consulting firm SullivanKreiss. During that time, you are left either with a slot unfilled or an employee who is on the way out and not especially motivated to produce. This is a sizable gap in today’s A/E practice climate, where many mid- to upper-level jobs go begging through lack of qualified candidates.
