IT Hiring Trends

A great article from DM Review discusses trends in IT hiring based upon some information from Robert Half.

In the article they highlight a couple things of immediate relevance to Project X.

Net hiring growth in Q2 due to business demands.
Areas of growth are in common areas with common skill-sets

The second point as indicated is of interest to us as these are not generally the skill-sets we are looking for. We will be looking for more specific less widely taught skills. So this means, that if the skills don't exist we are going to have to build them. And guess what, that is our plan.
