"seems to be"?!?
"IT hiring seems to be on the rise"
What gives this appearance?
Are they shifting from bodyshopping to real employment (and from "IT"/"data processing" and "programming services" to real software/system product development)?
Are they interviewing higher percentages of applicants?
Are they placing more help-wanted ads?
In more venues?
In those ads, are they including e-mail addresses and telephone numbers answered by real, live hiring managers (as opposed to immigration lawyers and HR clones who have no idea what the buzz-words mean and which are really necessary vs. nice to have)?
Or are they just mining their black-hole "talent management systems" slightly more?
And the post by Arcturus909 suggests the question of whether they're actually hiring teams with over-lapping/inter-operating skills yet (or are they still trying to hire 1 person to do 3-4 jobs; or, conversely, 5 cheap, pliant guest-workers, to do what used to be done by 1 US STEM worker)?
Or are they hiring more guest-workers to do work that would violate US professional ethics?
