MRWho is the first supplement to DRNO, subtitled 'People and Skills in Market Research', and looking at recruitment, training, salaries and benefits, loyalty, teambuilding and all other aspects of human resources for the MR profession.
August Edition - MR Recruitment Activity in 1st Half 2003
It's been a strange half year for MR recruitment - job numbers on MrWeb are booming with new UK advertisers coming on board and US and Aussie vacs beginning to multiply - but despite some recovery from the low of last year / post-September 11th, activity has been patchy, with a good month often followed by a bad. Salaries are only creeping up, if at all: some client side jobs have higher salaries but there aren't many of them full stop. We look in detail at the highs and lows and make at least one prediction about who's going to get a rise soon.
Also this month we list selected answers to our summer survey question about researchers' dream jobs, and comment on some of the stranger ones; we look at skills and trends in financial research, a busy sector due to the impact of technology and regulation and sometimes hard to research due to respondent cynicism and other factors; and we have the lowdown from two viewing facility managers on taxi drivers who honk their horns and respondents who expect restaurant service, in Love and Hate.
MRWho has about 880 subscribers including a majority of the bosses of major UK agencies and around 300 blue chip clientside researchers. It's free and comes in a .pdf format so most people print it out, although you can read it on-screen if you prefer. The August edition was published on 11/8/03 and is available for download from this site (see bottom right) - you'll need a password and for this you'll need to subscribe. If you'd like to, just email us and say so, giving us your email address (and those of anyone else there who wants it), your JobTitle(s) and the name of your company - this will only be used for our own stats, ie so we can give advertisers general information about the types of people reading it - and for our own analysis / edification. Re confidentiality of this: we are MRS members and you know the drill! Please state clearly whether you just want passwords to download previous editions or if [like 90% plus] you wish to receive forthcoming issues too. There's no reason not to as it's free.
If you're not in an HR function and you think your company's personnel or training people would be interested, please let them know - there is no limit to the number of subscribers per company, of course.
