The May 2012 Index, which measures managerial hiring activity online, lost some ground over the past two months as it struggles to recover to its all-time high of 116.9 reached in March 2012.

“This month’s losses in managerial recruitment were minor but we are still ahead of where we were three years ago,” says Tony Lee, publisher, CareerCast.com.
