The looming uncertainty has urged many economists to predict and debate the job market of U.S. in 2013 but entrepreneurs are undeterred by the gloomy forecasts. CNN Money has brought forth opinions of various leading entrepreneurs who are looking forward to hiring more new talent aggressively.
Tom Szaky, founder of TerraCycle said that the company will be hiring extensively in the coming year as their hiring is not reliant on macroeconomic factors like "fiscal cliff". He asserted that TerraCycle's growth is more dependent on consumers and clients, reported CNN Money.
"Our business is enjoying great growth, which is putting us in a position that we must hire regardless of the looming fiscal cliff. If we don't, our business will slow down because of missed opportunities" Eric Ryan, co-founder and chief brand architect of Method told CNN Money.
Ryan also emphasized that America's economy is so dependent on consumer spending that any government revenue increases have the potential to slow the economy down, reported CNN Money.
Entrepreneur Week will also be hiring but only in the tech division, Founder Gary Whitehill told CNN Money.
Phil Town, investor and Author of "#Rule 1 and Payback Time" says that the Fiscal Cliff or other economic issues would not stop them expanding and experimenting, reported CNN Money.
"And, of course, we would be hiring -- if we could find the right person and we had plenty of money, we'd hire them in a heartbeat. But in the abstract, we are fearless," Town added.
Brooklyn Industries will also be hiring as they believe that through hiring, they have a chance to innovate and build a better business, reported CNN Money.
"We are in the business of bringing creativity to our customers, so we are always in flux and always looking for the most talented people", Lexy Funk, CEO of Brooklyn Industries told CNN Money.
While some entrepreneurs are geared up to hire more people, some of the others are going to stay put.
Clint Greenleaf, CEO and Founder of Greenleaf Book Group stated that the company was going to maintain its staff levels. The book firm will not be hiring for growth and are holding back expansion plans, reported CNN Money.
"We are holding onto our cash to be ready for opportunities, and to be prepared for a crisis, if either should appear." Greenleaf told CNN Money.
Jennifer Hill, an entrepreneurial advocate and venture attorney said that forward movement was the key to success. No matter how gloomy the economic weather is, 'forward direction' is the only way to go. Waiting would only result in missing opportunities, reported CNN Money.
"The best hiring decisions that I have made placed people, potential and perspective over reactionary measures due to an economic forecast. Onward!" Hill added.
Regardless of what the decision involving the Fiscal Cliff will be, hiring will be on in 2013. However, it will be cautious and more quality oriented.
