The mainstream press says it’s our time

There was an interesting little nugget from the UK’s London Evening Standard the other day, which commented on the findings of recruitment company Hays. “According to Hays, which used to make a good living from filling jobs in the Square Mile and Canary Wharf, the recession has spawned a mini-boom for procurement and purchasing specialists,” the story claimed.

Interesting, and perhaps not entirely surprising, news. But what I did find surprising, and refreshing, was that the newspaper wrote about procurement at all – it tends to dedicate itself to pure finance.

Evidence of the continued rise of the procurement professional? Or further sign of the depth of the economic gloom?
