I think the market might be getting tight

An agency I have worked for in the past put up a job posting on The Posse List on Sunday, seeking resumes for a project starting Tuesday, which to me is tomorrow because I am still up, but according to the time and the calendar is today. In any event, the original post indicated that the project was paying a decent rate, it would last about a month and overtime was expected. Not too bad, especially these days, with OT very limited and usually nonexistent. The only downside I saw was they wanted resumes by 9 pm Sunday night and that there might be face-to-face interviews required, to take place Monday. Not clear whether the interviews would be with the agency or the firm. Probably the firm, but still not a big downside.

Well, they apparently are having a little trouble staffing the project, because Monday morning, this posting appeared on The Posse List (red emphasis in original):

Six months ago -- hell, three months ago -- this project would have been staffed in minutes. I think it is partly because my project is sucking in contract attorneys like a black hole, but I also am seeing a lot of new project listings -- probably half a dozen just today. After six long years of total shit, it appears that the market is finally at least decent. We'll know soon enough -- if we see rates rise, that will confirm my suspicion.
