Competition in the UK Recruitment Industry

It must be said that the larger and more experienced UK recruitment firms tend to have the bulk share of the market in terms client base and overall service demand. Without a doubt, the UK recruitment industry and the job market as a whole can be a difficult sector for small firms and candidates alike. The intense competition within the UK recruitment industry has meant that some firms have had to evolve in a sense. This particularly applies to the new or smaller firms who have not yet established a substantial client base.


The working life inside Google

lots of people are envious of being a employee in google. why? For the life there, the feebback, culture there, or the atmosphere there? As one of the biggest tech companies on the planet, the real life there is always mysterious for our common people. often we can hear some people in it saying how wanderful working there with those coments like Everyone there is super smart,there are 18 different cafes, having Free Breakfast,Lunch, Dinner,food is gourmet quality, there is 7 person conference bicycles, Every Friday, Larry, Sergei, or Eric takes questions from them (in person) and get free beer. Seems like a life in the paradise, isn`t it? but we also know that all the things have two different sides, recently, There"s an interesting thread, in which Google employees are asked to describe their experiences working for the Internet giant. And we hear different voice about working life there. "I"ve been there for about 5 years.


Recession Resilient IT Jobs

But, the good news is that, despite the rough market situation, and the rumors that things haven"t been this bad since 1929, ITians need not career swap, for there are still IT recruiters who are bold enough to hire those of you looking for IT jobs.

Who says that just because there are depressing surveys and predictions on budgets and IT careers, there is no room for IT employment? It is a farce ò€“ nothing more.

If those hiring are upbeat about the IT Software job vacancy, then so can we be. The reason they are giving for the positive outlook is that technology is something that every company needs, in every sector. They say that IT is the winning career for the day.

The jobs that experts find at risk however are the telecom jobs. In a recently published list of jobs that are supposedly recession-proof, the IT recruitment jobs were toppers on the list. Other job streams that were seemingly safe were those in networking and system administration, software, design, QA, testing and more.

Apparently, the demand for people who can work with AJAX, Ruby on Rails, Asp.Net Jobs, etc is high up there.

If you are a consultant, consider getting a full-time employee status. While you can be an outsourced aid if you work on the lower-level IT projects, you cannot move to higher levels unless you are a full-time employee.

If you are looking for a full-time IT job, you should consider if there is also scope provided for any hands-on training or new experiences and new projects. If there are such possibilities, you would do well to take the job while it is still available as training and experience is the best way you can get into higher-paying jobs. Earn while you learn should be your mantra. It is priceless!

Although companies are falling and the economy is sliding, companies still have to function. It is because of this that those with good training and experience will keep their jobs, especially so if you are an IT person. Companies need their core activities to stand strong and as we are in an IT world, this is one battalion that cannot fall unless of course the company is shutting down either temporarily or for good.

But in all this talk, we will not underestimate the skills that are not technical. All have something to contribute to the overall success of the company. If you have soft-skills such as being a people person, if you"re soft spoken, or can handle stress well, you will be the last to go even if the company is sinking.
