In any employment situation, upheaval is generally the norm - just ask the average American worker, who will plow through about 16 jobs during their working years. As a result, predicting that there will be major changes in the “recruitosphere,” that a major company will layoff thousands of employees or that a big name sports coach/manager will be fired isn’t so much a prediction as it is a statement of fact.

Some predictions from the obvious and not-so-obvious departments:

• Someone will register the domain recruitosphere.com and do something with it. Now…I wonder who owns that domain already…
• Monster.com will produce millions in revenue and will continue to be blasted for being unimaginative…
• IT staffing firms will hire Indian engineers on behalf of their clients, further proving that the world is indeed flat…
• Brian Billick WON’T be the coach of the Ravens (oops, too late). Rex Ryan will be? Hmmmm…maybe….
• Mick will have more grey hairs by the end of the year than at the beginning (thanks to little Mick, perhaps)…
• Jason Alba will network, continue his excellent blogging and generally continue becoming more of force in the employment “space”…
• Mick and I will write in this blog space more often than we did in November and December of 2007
• The Insourced operation will move to a new headquarters somewhere in Ellicott City, MD (mmm…nice)…
• Jason Alba (part 2) will be teased about Jessica being his sister at least ONE time during the year…mmmm….Jessica….
• Insourced will pass the 500,000 job mark by the 2nd quarter 2008…

That’s all I have for now. Back for more this month than last…I promise.
