BC | Hiring surge for tech sector

British Columbia’s technology sector appears to have weathered the global downturn and expects to create more than 3,000 new jobs in 2012, according to a new survey from the B.C. Technology Industry Association.

The group’s bi-annual TechTalent B.C. survey showed the industry expects a five per cent growth in jobs this year with demand highest for software and hardware engineers, customer support staff, sales and marketing staff and technical managers.

“This robust job growth shows the resilience of B.C.’s technology sector,” said BCTIA president Bill Tam. “Our industry has added back all of the jobs lost in the downturn and has returned to peak employment levels. We’re now ready to set the course for the next decade, driving new records for industry employment and revenues.”
