West Valley Staffing Group: Silicon Valley Optimistic About Hiring Levels Of The First Quarter Of The Year

SUNNYVALE, Calif., Dec. 4, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- The majority of hiring managers throughout the Silicon Valley expect positive hiring levels in the first quarter of 2013, according to the latest West Valley Staffing Group Economic Survey.

Each quarter, West Valley Staffing Group (WVSG) surveys a range of Silicon Valley hiring managers about their upcoming hiring needs. The hiring managers come from several industries, including high tech, manufacturing, electronics, finance, semiconductor, medical, aerospace, and alternative energy. Each participant is asked, "Do you expect your hiring needs to increase, remain steady, or decrease in the next quarter and beyond?" This is the only economic survey uniquely exclusive to Silicon Valley!

Hundreds of hiring managers were surveyed this quarter, with 89% predicting that hiring will increase or remain steady during the first quarter of 2013, compared to 91% at this time last year. Meanwhile, only 11% of hiring managers expect their needs to decrease.

"Based on the data that was collected, most Silicon Valley hiring managers are seeing employment levels holding steady," said Charlie Allport, Executive Vice President of West Valley Staffing Group. "This quarter's survey indicates that when it comes to hiring, we are looking at another solid quarter."
