Will your company do any hiring in the next few months? If it’s possible, you might want to find a way to fit it into your budget now.

Most experts agree: Times like these provide a great opportunity to hire top talent — as long as companies can afford to add staff.

More than 75% of in-house recruiters say the recession gives them a chance to increase the caliber of their employees, according to a recent survey by JobFox, an online job board.

However, more than half also say they’ll be hiring fewer people in the beginning of 2009 than they did a year ago.

That means good news for the rest: Now’s their chance to get a leg up on the competition. Experts say the companies hiring quality workers now will be the ones on top when the economy recovers.
