"Broad generalists aren’t needed right now, and the days of digging into an executive position and getting fat are over, said brian cork, founder of brian cork Human Capital, an Atlanta-based provider of recruiting, executive search and other services. We’re seeing a new type of position emerging in corporate America. It’s the project-oriented executive,” cork said.

About 40 percent of the hiring in those countries is for two-year contracts, and that’s starting to happen here. The shelf life for executives is going to be about 30 months,” he said. “Companies are looking for the best, fastest and brightest talent, and there’s a direct correlation between what needs to be done and having the right skills to do it.”
