Hiring intentions in the US are on the rise, according to the semiannual hiring survey from DHI Group Inc. (NYSE: DHX), the parent company of job board Dice and other websites.

Sixty-five percent of US hiring managers expect to hire more over the next six months, according to the survey released today. That’s up from 62% who said the same thing in the last year’s survey.

“The survey last year hit during a tumultuous political season in America and prior to the election of Donald Trump as president. It would seem that whatever concern was paralyzing employers’ hiring earlier in the year has since abated,” said Michael Durney, President and CEO of DHI Group Inc. “Now, it’s a hurry-up-and-wait situation; hiring managers are combating lengthy fill times as professionals ponder choosing the ideal employer. Recruiters are needing to employ creative tactics to attract skilled candidates.”

In addition, 46% of hiring managers reported time-to-fill lengthened when compared to last year. The reason, according to 47%, was inability to find qualified candidates. And 28% said they have become more discerning while waiting for a perfect match.

The survey also found that 35% of US hiring managers reported recruiting budgets will be more robust than last year. And 55% expect salaries for new hires to tend upward — down from 53% who said the same in last year’s survey.

Perks are on the rise as well, the most common of which being relocation benefits, offered by 53%, according to the survey.

The survey included 407 hiring professionals with a third working at companies with more than 500 employees.
