In February 2010 an article appeared in the Philadelphia Business Journal stating that the Philadelphia area had at least 6,000 job openings just in the 50 largest companies surveyed. Yet, because the economy remains unsettled, many of these local companies with openings have been extremely selective in hiring, and the openings remain. The most significant job openings were in health-care or life sciences companies, and the job openings were for nurses, doctors, therapists, clinical workers, information-technology positions, managers, and sales.
More recently, in September of 2010 another study claimed that 216,937 private-sector jobs existed in Center City Philadelphia, which paid $12.1 billion in salaries in 2008 and accounted for 39 percent of all jobs in the city. The jobs are available in Philadelphia.Another study released late in September 2010 by the University of California San Diego Extension noted that the best career choices for college grades are: healthcare information technology, mobile media software programmers, data miners, embedded engineering software developers and software engineers, geriatric healthcare, occupational health and safety, Spanish/English translation and interpretation, environmental economics, feature writers for the web, and teaching English as a foreign language.
The reason many of these jobs are still available is that companies are looking for the perfect candidate.To get a leg up on the competition, both companies and job seekers may benefit from hiring an IT Staffing or Engineering Staffing company that is active in the area, and has a good understanding of the jobs available and the candidates who may best fit them.
Many IT staffing services in the Philadelphia area can handle most types of job placement, such as direct placement, retained, project, temp to perm, and temporary staffing These IT Staffing and Engineering Staffing companies make use of comprehensive networks to provide the most qualified individuals for the positions available.
The process is relatively simple for both companies and job candidates.First, the company notifies the staffing firm that a position is available, or a candidate notifies the firm that they are hunting for a job.
