The five most popular jobs

Today's start-ups are already growing fast and they are beginning to compete for talent, but there are a few types of jobs that are hardest for practitioners to complete.

Start-ups in the technology industry are almost always present in all big cities, especially in San Francisco, Boston and New York. Although many of these companies are still in the A-round, or even the seed round of financing, anyway, they have become entrepreneurs.

Why are there so many entrepreneurs right now ? Because in recent years, due to the development of cloud technology, the threshold of science and technology has been significantly reduced compared to a few years ago. They also have easier access to finance for teams that have a good start-up philosophy.

In addition, the emergence of crowdfunding sites also provides entrepreneurs with a new way to access capital. For example, 3D printing company Formlabs received $ 3 million from Kickstarter.

What is the impact on recruiting talent? The answer is that because of the increase of entrepreneurs, the competition for talent among enterprises has also become more intense.

I observe that in 2013, five kinds of talent will become hot.

Big Data

Big data has become a trend. Today's Internet generates a huge amount of data every day. Just a Facebook company will generate 2.5 billion pieces of content a day, and more than 500TB of data. The data is of great importance to the business, but first you have to learn how to use it. If you can not find the relevant personnel, big data is meaningless to you.

I observed that the need for data fellows already covers almost all industries.

Move talent

Even before the birth of the iPhone, it was always said: "This year will be the year of mobile." Today, if you want to embark on the road to the mobile Internet, you need to have the right people.

Nowadays, the demand for mobile talent in various companies is rapidly expanding. Many enterprises also hope that the talents they attract will have a mobile background. For example, a software engineer who has developed iOS or Android applications.

Enterprise software

Enterprise software is back. Online B2B products and SaaS products have driven this industry. For example, Workday IPO in October, which is a cloud computing enterprise software company. On the IPO day, the company's shares rose 72% and now they have reached 8.5 billion U.S. dollars in total market value. There is also a cloud file sharing business Box, last year they reached $ 125 million in financing, making their total financing reached 284 million.

Many businesses are looking for people with relevant backgrounds, and such people are required by multiple departments, such as sales, product management, administration and other departments.

cloud computing

Now, many businesses commit their online services to cloud computing products such as Amazon Web Services and Racksape. However, if the business wants the ultimate success, they still need cloud computing equipment management and operations within the enterprise.

As a result, many businesses are looking for engineers with a cloud computing background. At the same time these people also need to have Linux system management experience.

Ruby on Rails

In web development, it's hard for businesses to find people with all of the technologies (PHP, Python, Java, etc.), and most of those who master Ruby on Rails, a framework that makes it easy to develop, deploy, and maintain web applications rare. Many start-ups choose to use Ruby on Rails to develop web pages because of the clear framework and speed.
