An article in Bloomberg Businessweek that came out recently discusses the growth in hiring for U.S. tech jobs over the past year. The trend is tied in deeply with increased global demand for tech products, as well as a desire for companies to realize cost savings through greater technological innovation.
Both of these trends will continue to contribute to healthy growth in the number of companies looking to hire people with specific technical skills. As more companies look to increase the number of software developers and engineers they hire, they can begin to see an increase in the length of their hiring cycle that they may not be expecting.
With 2011 on the horizon, now is the time (if you haven’t already) to begin thinking about how you’ll grow over the next year. The market for technical talent is heating up, and you don’t want to be left stagnating while your competitors continue to grow.
