Jax 5.0 has arrived here at Jobot! OG Jax has experienced all 5 iterations of Jax the software. When asked what his thoughts are about the Jax 5.0 release, he went on to say... "Jax 5.0 brings all the great features from 1-4 and adds that 5.0 punch to it! My only suggestion would be to integrate more high protein treats!" OK, OG Jax didn't actually say that, but he is certainly hoping for more treats (: #recruiting #recruitment #staffing #changinglives

IT Staffing isn't just for software and tech companies. See below for how we aided a big box retailer after a significant split from its parent company to grow into a multi-billion dollar success story. #ITStaffing #MergersandAcquisitions #Success #MandA #changemanagement

What’s going on in the tech job market? Tech industry employment rose by 8,583 net new positions last month. The U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics #JobsReport highlights that growth was mainly in cloud infrastructure, data processing, and hosting (+6,000), along with tech services and custom software development (+2,900). Tech employment surged with 118,000 new positions added, reducing the tech unemployment rate to 2.5%, significantly below the national average. Currently, 6.4 million professionals are employed in core tech roles across various industries, highlighting the sector’s robust growth and demand for skilled talent. Employer job postings for tech positions have risen for the second month in a row, exceeding 516,000 active listings. Notably, September saw the addition of 225,000 new job listings. Tech support specialists and database administrators experienced the most significant increases, with job openings rising by 14% for the month. What does all of this mean for you? For employers, the rise in tech job postings signals a renewed opportunity to fill critical roles, especially as the tech unemployment rate has decreased significantly. Employers are increasingly focusing on skills-based hiring, with many positions not requiring a four-year degree, allowing for a broader talent pool. For job seekers, this trend presents a favorable job market, particularly in roles like tech support and database administration, which have seen substantial growth. The emphasis on skills over formal education provides more opportunities for those with non-traditional backgrounds.

More than half of hiring manager's surveyed estimated to have direct hire openings for the second half of 2024. https://lnkd.in/gaBiyttS What does it mean?

If you are a company, be ahead of the game and start planting seeds with partners that you trust. Staffing Partners that understand you. Eleven Recruiting

THIS is becoming more important to so many of our partners, both on the candidate and client side. There were many misfires for some of our partners throughout the Great Resignation - many of their external recruiters burnt bridges by not securing confidential information, their partner names, references, etc. See how our process builds in discretion from the very first contact point throughout the recruitment process. #privacy #greatresignation #staffing #recruiting Blue Signal Search

I predict more CIOs will ascend to CEO roles in the future. In fact, it’s already happening. Here are three examples of former CIOs who have transitioned to CEO roles: - Kevin T. Hart, SEGRA - Sharon Kennedy Vickers, Software for Good - Ross Meyercord, Propel Software Historically, CEOs have come up from other business functions like operations or sales. C-suites saw CIOs as backroom technologists, not business strategists. That’s changed dramatically over the last two decades. Thanks to the digital transformation happening across industries, the modern CIO is a savvy business leader by necessity. And the rise of remote and hybrid work models has only underscored their influence on organizations. The 2023 State of the CIO report reveals: - 84% of CIOs are spearheading digital transformation - 85% are acting as change agents - 68% are taking on revenue responsibilities - 77% are working closely with CEOs and boards In short, CIOs are not just running the IT show - they're shaping the future of their companies. While I suspect the CIO-CEO path will likely never be the most common C-suite transition, it shouldn’t surprise any of us to see it happening more frequently, especially in technology companies. Want to read more about CIOs transitioning to CEO roles? Check out the article in the comments.
