CHICAGO, Illinois (October 1, 2020)Brilliant®, an award-winning direct-hire, contract and consulting practice specializing in accounting, finance and technology, released a new Market Insights Report detailing its latest research on the trends and economic factors affecting businesses amidst the global pandemic.

The firm conducted a pulse survey on its client base in efforts to gain insight into the strength, strategy and state of their businesses. Brilliant researchers analyzed the data and produced the Market Insights Report which includes feedback from accounting, finance and technology leaders on changes in internal cost structure, hiring plans, unique challenges, and more.

Since 2012, Brilliant has been a pillar of proprietary market research for businesses of all industries throughout the Midwest and Southeast regions of the U.S. with its quarterly Accounting, Finance and IT Hiring Forecast. The firm switched course at the start of the pandemic to conduct a series of briefer pulse studies, resulting in the new Market Insights Report.

Kathy Spearing, President, Brilliant, explains, “As a leading recruiting and consulting firm, we strive to be the eyes and ears for our candidates and clients when it comes to important information surrounding the economy, labor market and business trends. We are proud of the research we conduct to accomplish this.” Spearing continues, “Now, more than ever, we need to stay close to our partners and job seekers and be there for them in any capacity so we can all become stronger as we navigate these unique times.”

While some essential businesses have remained unscathed, the majority of companies surveyed have had to make significant changes in the workplace from implementing hybrid workforces to reducing pay and benefits to freezing hiring.

The report is designed to walk through the various findings in snippet-form, so that professionals can quickly capture the changes rapidly occurring within the workplace.
