ROCHELLE PARK, N.J.–(BUSINESS WIRE)–ZRG Partners, a client-focused global executive search firm driven by
data analytics, announced the results of its Q4
2017 Global Industrial Hiring Index.

The Industrial sector hiring trends showed a robust increase over Q3
2017, rising 12%. The index was up 33% versus the same quarter last
year. This quarter’s hiring demand was the highest we’ve ever recorded
for the Industrial sector.

Nate
Frank, Managing Director, ZRG Industrial Practice stated “Another
strong quarter to end 2017 came as no real surprise given the demand our
industrial team was seeing in search activity to end the year. Looking
ahead, it will be interesting to observe what impact stock market
volatility in the first quarter has on hiring activity early in 2018.”
