We hope you had some great Holidays with your loved ones and kicked off the New Year in style. To kick off 2018, we wanted to share a simple infographic that is a part retrospective for the last year and a part outlook for this New Year. We have experienced fantastic growth with over 700 recruiters posting over 1100 jobs in 2017 alone. Our community grew to 14,000 candidates with completed profiles on our platform and 100,000 subscribers of our newsletters across all of our five (5) disciplines: Strategy, Client Services, Project Management, Media, and Production. The salary reports we published to bring some transparency when it comes to compensation in Account Management and Media enjoyed 20,000 views (combined). We were busy wrapping up 2017 with the soft launch of our freelance version, SIFTLYnow, last month. Almost 800 strategic minds have already joined SIFTLYnow as we’ll be sifting for freelance opportunities for Analysts, Planners, and Strategists first before expanding into Project Management and Production. Our next expansion will be sifting for opportunities in Human Resources & Talent Acquisition, which we fold under Human Capital and hope to announce as soon as next week. Plus, our expansion into Business Development will be coming later this month for anyone in marketing and sales on the agency side to be able to find work without doing anything. And, arguably, our largest expansion in 2018 will be adding Creative to SIFTLY and SIFTLYnow (besides our plans of launching SIFTLY in key international markets later in the year). For 2018, we wish for you to find a work culture that respects you for who you are, that challenges you in new and exciting ways to accelerate your professional and personal growth. TEAM SIFTLY
