IT Hiring Expected to Jump in First Quarter

IT hiring expected to jump in first quarter
Texas among top hiring states in 1Q, report says
Report: More CFOs sticking around
Executives plan to increase IT spending once economy improves Survey says: Workers are still civil
The U.S. is expected to see a boost in information technology hiring in the first quarter next year, according to the latest survey by Robert Half Technology.
The survey reported 11 percent of chief information officers saying they plan to add IT positions during the first three months of next year, while just 3 percent foresee cutbacks—an important indicator for Austin's technology heavy economy. The 8 percent increase in hiring activity is up 5 points compared with the forecast for the current quarter.
The survey also found that 84 percent of CIOs are at least somewhat confident in their companies’ growth prospects in the first quarter, the same number reported in the fourth-quarter survey. More than half (54 percent) of executives said it is very or somewhat challenging to find skilled IT professionals today.
“As companies maximize operational efficiencies and strive to make information more accessible, they rely on their IT departments,” said John Reed, executive director of Robert Half Technology. “As a result, CIOs are re-initiating previously deferred projects and are more willing to invest in augmenting their teams.”
The national survey also revealed that technology executives in the West South Central region, which includes Texas, will be hiring the most actively.
The quarterly IT Hiring Index and Skills Report was developed by Robert Half Technology and conducted by an independent research firm. First published in 1995, the study is based on more than 1,400 telephone interviews with CIOs from a random sample of U.S. companies with 100 or more employees.
Robert Half Technology is an IT staffing firm owned by Menlo Park, Calif.-based Robert Half International. The company has offices nationwide, including Austin.

Tech Recruiters Sweetening Offers to Lure Workers
by
John Zappe Sep 14, 2010, 7:15 pm ETSince May, almost a third of IT recruiters have had to sweeten their offers to tech professionals in order to get them to sign on with a new company.
The No. 1 sweetener, as might be expected, is more money. But flexible working arrangements, including telecommuting, and commitments to new technologies, also rank high as talent attractors.
“Money is important,” says Tom Silver, senior VP/North America for Dice. But other incentives can be compelling, he adds, especially to those candidates who live in metro areas, where telecommuting might be worth more than a few extra dollars.
Workplace flexibility “is a big deal,” says Silver.
Dice released the results of a late August survey of 1,357 recruiters, consultants, and staffing firms who look for IT professionals on Dice.com.
Although 69 percent reported they haven’t needed to improve candidate offers, the other 31 percent said they have. And the No. 1 reason — cited by half of them — is that the labor pool is getting smaller as IT hiring picks up. Another 22 percent of recruiters who have sweetened their offers say they had to because “technology professionals are still hesitant to leave their current employer.”
Silver says the tightening labor market for IT is due to a pickup in hiring. Since August of 2009 Dice has seen a 40 percent increase in the number of openings advertised on the site.
Data from the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics bears out what Dice is reporting. In July of 2009, the job openings rate for information occupations was 1.8. A year later, it was 3.5. For the private sector as a whole in the U.S. the rate in July was 2.7, up from 2.0 a year ago. (The job openings rate is the ratio of openings divided by total employment plus the number of job openings.)
Hiring, on the other hand, is about the same as it was a year ago. The BLS puts the hiring rate at 2.6 for information workers in July versus the 2.7 rate of July 2009. For all private sector workers, the rate stood at 4.1 versus the 3.9 of July 2009.
Those numbers suggest that IT recruiters are increasingly having a hard time finding the talent they want. Silver says that after money, a powerful attractor for tech professionals is the nature of the work and especially the opportunity to be involved with new and emerging technology.
In tech, he says, “the skills and skill requirements are always changing.” Workers want to keep abreast of those changes and improve their skills, so recruiters who can offer those opportunities — the “latest and greatest,” Silver says — are at an advantage.
Indeed, the Dice survey shows that after money and flexible working arrangements, recruiters offered the opportunity to work with new technology as an incentive. Among all recruiters — those who have had to sweeten offers and those who haven’t — company culture is their favorite selling point, followed by the type of projects.
What this should mean to a recruiter is that money is important, but flexibility and challenging projects can be deal-makers.
