In our September issue of elink, I talked about the definition of "Opportunity" and how thankful we are at EdgeLink to have had the opportunity to serve our clients and candidates in 2010. As we cross the starting line for 2011, opportunity presents itself again.
To start, we have some great news to share on the technology staffing front. You may have heard that demand and hiring are up in the technology sector nationally, but how is that translating to the Portland and Denver markets? In our feature article we take a look at what's happening nationally and share what EdgeLink is seeing at a local level with regard to the most sought-after skills. In addition, we provide a few proven best practices for managing a cautious, yet competitive talent market in this new year.
Our suggestions do not stop there. EdgeLink is helping companies and technology professionals kick the year off with a bang. Check out these successful hiring and job hunting tips that will give you an edge in 2011 and beyond. Be sure to also take a look at the wide-range of talent EdgeLink provides in our Hot Candidates section, and visit our Consultant Spotlight, where we introduce you to a stand-out technology professional.
As you begin to execute your plans for the year and navigate the road ahead, we hope the information provided in this issue of elink will set you on a solid path for 2011.
