New Year, New Challenges!

So, a belated Happy New Year to one and all, thanks for your emails of kind words. I have been swamped since returning to work, and one thing looks clear for the New Year - more of the same. By this I mean more and more technical hiring and fewer and fewer candidates. We are all going to have to get better at automating and identifying candidates quicker than other Recruiters. Here are some more links from just before Christmas in a similar vein - interesting statistics in technical Hiring amidst all this talk of downturns and recession in our local economy and on a Global scale with the recent history in the US. Technology-wise there is a lot of development hiring ongoing but interestingly there are a very high proportion of Linux & Solaris environment open roles in Java Dev, and a slight fall-off in levels of .Net hiring
