The Power of SAP, And More On EmploymentSome recent updates from the high-tech hiring scene: Half Of Tech Employers Looking To Fill Jobs By End Of 2007: "According to a new survey... Twenty-eight percent of IT employers said they plan to increase hiring in the second half of the year, and 40% say they're planning to hire about the same number of employees in the second half as they did in the first six months of the year."

Beef Up Your Soft Skills: "Project planning, functional-area process knowledge, and company-specific knowledge were the top three skill sets [CIOs] identified last year as mostly likely to be kept in-house at their companies for the next few years." Most Tech Executives Are Unhappy With Their Jobs "Nearly 60% of IT executives say they're not satisfied or somewhat unsatisfied by their jobs, according to a survey of 2,149 executives by ExecuNet, an executive career networking firm. My somewhat cynical take: it's not supposed to be fun. That's why they pay you. Speaking of which... "While recent surveys showed tech professionals less confident about jobs, Yoh [a U.S. job placement firm] was seeing a "good, steady pace for hiring professionals with high-level skills and deep-rooted industry experience," Jim Lanzalotto, VP of strategy and marketing for the firm, said in a statement. 'We should keep an eye out for more competitive wages to come during the remainder of 2007, and into 2008 as the marketplace continues to heat up.'" For more on the Yoh report, see their blog: The Recruiter: "SAP Technical Consultants and Hardware Designers continue to be among the jobs in greatest demand. They also reported the highest hourly wages at $85.53 and $65.63, respectively." I gotta learn some SAP... Posted by Joe Caponi at 11:01 AM, July 26, 2007 This is a public forum.
