National recruiters with Lucas Group, a respected company in professional recruiting, report candidates who are searching for employment in the Technology sector have reason to be optimistic for 2005.
Lucas Group reports a substantial increase in IT job openings during the past six months, and does not see a decline in the quality or quantity of openings to continue through the next year. Candidates should also be optimistic in employment being permanent these days, opposed to the past few years when many candidates in the Technology industry had to rely on contract work.
ìMany companies still utilize third parties to fulfill their IT needs, but this has caused a significant increase in the number of permanent consulting openings within both large firms and small niche players,î says Tim Sobon, Associate Partner at Lucas Group.
Employers in the Technology industry are currently looking for candidates who possess the ability to combine both current technical skills with functional expertise in specific verticals that include healthcare, financial services and media/entertainment. The executive search firm also notes that candidates looking for employment can get employersí attention through particular certifications, such as MCSE (Microsoft Certified Systems Engineer).
Lucas Group, who has recently expanded with a new operation in Germany, predicts current conditions within the Technology industry appear to be sustainable for several years to come, similar to the job growth seen during the past six months.
