College of Charleston career center director Denny Ciganovic senses the hiring freeze has bottomed out.
“Small companies are starting to feel a little bit more confident,” he said. “Rather than commit to hiring a full-time person, they are hiring graduates through a staffing agency as temporary workers. A company expanding here, another adding a few more positions. The little things I’m seeing, if you put them in the overall mosaic, that says it’s getting better. I think things are getting a little more stable.”
