\"VR,<\/a><\/p>\n

As I shared in my last article<\/a> VR or Virtual reality is a booming field that is growing exponentially. Because of this meteoric rise, technical, engineering, scientific, IT and R&D recruiters and recruitment firms are having a difficult time recruiting all the talent to fill open job orders. This is particularly true for engineer openings requiring Unity 3D, C#, C++, OOP, OpenGL, 3D Modeling using Blender or 3D Graphics APIs (especially with OpenGL, Metal, Vulkan) experience. All of which are in vogue for VR development.<\/p>\n

Like VR, Bitcoin Driving Technology Recruitment Needs!<\/h2>\n

The Wall Street Journal shared recently that Bitcoin, the digital currency, hit a record of $2967. Strong demand for bitcoin has attracted new ideas and entrepreneurs into this unregulated currency and its offshoots.<\/p>\n

Despite currently having only a total market value of about $46 billion, which is only a tiny fraction of the $1.5 trillion of U.S. currency in circulation, bitcoin supporters believe that the currency is still in its earliest stages and they remain convinced that bitcoin will find a use that results in worldwide adoption.<\/p>\n

This increasing use of bitcoin has led to strong demand for Computer Science or engineering talent. This is particularly true for those engineers and scientists with C#, .Net, SQL, MySQL, Oracle, OCR, AI, RPA tools, VR, and Python skills within an Agile IT environment.<\/p>\n

AI, VR, Bitcoin, IoT and Robotics Fueling Tech Recruiting!<\/h2>\n

Technology stocks are all in favor right now. Apple recently passed $800 billion in market value for the first time. Additionally, Amazon.com just moved above the rare $1,000 per share stock level and Alphabet, the parent of Google, is near that plateau. This is driving an insatiable appetite among hiring managers for IT, R&D, technical, engineering, scientific and manufacturing recruiting in all cutting edge technology fields!<\/p>\n

This has helped to fuel the Labor Department\u2019s lowest unemployment rate in 16 years at 4.3%. Though other non-technology fields have had only sparse contributions to those jobs numbers, Strategic Search Corporation<\/a> has found from hiring company surveys that the staffing needs for engineers, scientists and other technical professionals have been exhibiting way more demand than supply for the past six months!<\/p>\n
