IT Staffing is the Biggest Winner in Staffing Industry Analysts' List of Fastest Growing Companies

MOUNTAIN VIEW, Calif., July 10, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- Staffing Industry Analysts, the leading global advisor on contingent work, released its annual list of fastest growing staffing companies today. IT staffing companies garnered seven out of the top 10 spots.

According to Jon Osborne, vice president of research, Staffing Industry Analysts, "IT staffing companies regularly lead our fastest growing staffing list due to the niche services they provide to the market."  Mr. Osborne went on to say, "as an example, if a company needs Ruby on Rails programmers, and an IT staffing company happens to have a stable of Ruby on Rails programmers, then they will be in the money.  Ruby on Rails programmers are one of the hottest commodities out there."

Market growth is also fueling the leaders; Staffing Industry Analysts predicts that the IT staffing market will grow 14% in 2012 as compared to the general temporary staffing market, which the company predicts will grow 10% in 2012.
