I gotta say that I agree with Nick .. it's pretty puzzling. Business is pragmatic, as a rule, so you just gotta think there's something to this. Maybe fewer college graduates? College is pretty expensive. Maybe not enough in the tech related subjects?
I do know that there is a huge difference in hiring/recruiting from when I was working: very specific skill sets. I was amazed how specific hiring became in Silicon Valley late in the game. When I was hired breadth of knowledge, and ability to adapt was key. Now it's sorta a form of impatience. I suppose it is because technology has matured so much that you *can* search for more specific skills? Kinda nuts. -- Owen
