  • More questions are sure to be raised by this year’s survey results than there are answers to be found – but that is the general idea.

The set of conclusions from our February, 2010 9th Annual SOH Report is still valid. The 2010 data presented here merely underlines the need to continue improving how we measure the interaction of multiple sources i.e. the channels of influence that result in a hire.
