Where are Washington’s talent shortages? – The Washington Post

The hiring market is far from sunny, but there are still jobs employers in the Washington area have a hard time filling. Paul Villella, chief executive of the staffing services firm HireStrategy, said a couple themes connect them. First, whenever new technologies become popular, employers quickly need people to implement and manage them even if very few people have the adequate training. Secondly, they probably aren’t the jobs that people dreamed of when they were youngsters. “They’re not very sexy jobs, and kids today want very sexy, so maybe [they] don’t get the most attention in college or school,” Villella said.

• Contract and subcontract managers
• Cloud computing
• Java developers
• Tax managers
• SharePoint architects
