Survey: 78% of IT hiring managers to add staff

June 01, 2010

Some 78% of human resource managers and recruiters in the information technology sector plan to hire IT workers in the next six months, according to a survey by Monster Worldwide Inc. conducted for Technisource, a division of SFN Group Inc. (NYSE: SFN).

Applications and infrastructure positions were most in demand, according to the survey.

In addition, 76% of respondents said they have confidence that their company's performance will improve in the next six months.

"It seems that the recessionary train of thought is changing -- companies are clearly focusing on growth opportunities instead of basic survival mode," said Technisource President Michael Winwood.

The survey took place between April 16 and May 13 among a U.S. sample of 245 human resources managers and recruiters for technology positions.
