IT Hiring Help To Increase Next Quarter

IT companies are planning to increase hiring -- although at a low rate -- in the first quarter of 2010 with traditional jobs in networking, IT security, and IT products development most in demand, according to the latest IT Hiring Index and Skills Report from employment specialist Robert Half Technology.
Based on telephone interviews with 1,400 U.S. CIOs, the report, issued Tuesday, found that a net 3% increase in IT hiring activity, spread across IT Support providers of all sizes, is expected in the first quarter of 2010. Seven percent of the respondents expect additions to their staffs while 4% expect reductions, for a net 3% increase.
