New York, Jun 13 (PTI) American technology companies are planning to hire more people in the next six months as many key positions continue to remain vacant due to shortage of skilled professionals, says a survey.
A study by job portal Dice.com, which polled nearly 900 hiring managers and recruiters, found that 65 per cent of respondents expect to hire more technology professionals in the second half of 2011, than they did in the first half.
The report said some key IT positions are staying open for months due to a shortage of qualified tech professionals.
63 per cent of the respondents sighted talent shortage as the primary reason for lengthening of time to fill a position, which compares to just 46 per cent who felt that way six months ago.
