New recruits are hard to find these days and corporate sector in the US is on the shorter end of the stick, thanks to the unpredictable nature of national economy, couple with natural disasters in the Far East end of Asia.
However, the technical and non technical organizations are in desperate need of technical employees, especially engineers. The most hardly struck by the dearth of technical talent is the technology sector including the hardware manufacturers and software
developers. Actually these firms make the top 20 list created by Identified in the latest survey.
“Just looking at basic labor supply numbers, there’s clearly a shortage of engineers,” says Identified CEO Brendan Wallace. “There’s clearly a voracious demand. It’s reflected in the Identified scores.”
The company shows some drastic shift from lay-off to desperate need for talent in the country. By percentage of engineers in a company, the technology firms like Google, Microsoft, Apple and even Facebook rein the list. Moreover, the list that sought total
number of engineers in a company also sported the same companies in a different order.
Microsoft tops the list of total number of engineers under one roof. The Windows makers are closely followed by Google in the same category. Third came International Business Machine (IBM) that hired most engineers in the US. However, the most surprising
fact of the aforementioned order is that software engineers are in more demand than any other talent in the US. IBM being one of the top computer hardware sellers in the world are 3rd and that shows how much the software developers are in demand.
In the list sought after the percentage of engineers in one company, NVIDIA toppled the file. The company is known worldwide for their flagship product in personal computing, high-end graphics cards. The company recently outshined Intel in graphics category.
Sun Microsystems followed the pursuit in 2nd position of hiring mostly engineers in technical and non-technical capacity. AMD, the chipset and microprocessors/semiconductors manufacturers secure 3rd spot in such list.
