Despite the global recession and the high levels of unemployment I am finding it amazingly hard to find the right candidates for positions in Prague.

I am not asking for the world, just for a good project manager with customer facing experience, the ability to handle stakeholders, develop an account and deliver projects. We have been looking now for eight weeks – we know the right people are out there…somewhere!

Am I asking too much?  Yes, I would like someone with localization experience but are all the good candidates bunkered down, keeping their heads below the parapet until the recession is over.

For those of us who have been through more than one recession I can say, with confidence, that now is a good time to consider a move. You can be in a new role in a growing businesses as the recession lifts and make a real difference.

Those that take chances during this time of uncertainty are usually better positioned for the next stage in their career progression.

So, if there are any project managers with localization experience looking for a new opportunity in the Prague area, please do get in touch at john.dixon@appliedlanguage.com.
