How This Report Was CompiledThis 2007 IT Contract Workforce represents a snapshot in time of demand for IT talent in the US and Canada. It is based on close to 2 million searches for specifi c skills conducted via the HotGigs Staffi ng Exchange. The data was collected in Q4 of 2006.

The HotGigs Staffi ng Exchange is an online marketplace for buying and selling staffi ng services that streamlines the often cumbersome process of fi nding and hiring consultants and contractors from the highly fragmented network of fi rms and agencies nationally. Companies and staffi ng fi rms in need of resources (either contract or perm placement) can conduct searches on the HotGigs Exchange for needed skill sets. Search results show listings of available consultant profi les with matching skills. Searches can be refi ned to focus in on particular skills or geographies.

The results contained in this report were compiled based on the highest volume searches on the HotGigs Exchange in 20 categories, including specifi c IT skills, technologies and software packages. In each category, search results are presented in descending order accompanied by a summary of key trends highlighted by the fi ndings.

This report focuses exclusively on IT skills, as a signifi cant segment of the contractors profi led on the HotGigs Exchange are in the IT fi eld, and the highest volume of searches is presently concentrated in this area. Future reports will break out contractor searches in categories such as business consulting, marketing and sales, health care, and administration, as well as specifi c geographies.

Hiring Companies can use this data to inform their workforce planning and to understand demand curves for mission-critical skill sets.

Staffi ng and consulting fi rms can assess present needs by comparing the data and trends in this report with the requirements and skill requests they are responding to in their own active markets, as well as identifying which skills they might specialize in going forward.

Independent consultants can benefi t from a review of high-demand skills as a springboard for career planning and professional development.
