If you’re in the Raleigh area and are looking for a job in the web development market, give me a holler – I’ve had recruiters calling night and day.  AND they’re not all calling with the same position.  That used to happen once in a while – I’d have calls from three recruiters that were all trying to fill the same position.  You could tell – easily – by the wording of the position description.

“Night and day” is a slight exaggeration, but I’ve had more contacts in the past 3 months than the previous 6 before that.  Talking with both recruiters and employers directly, there seems to be at least an overall *slight* shortage of good qualified workers in the area.  There may be a bigger shortage of people in certain areas, and less in others, but on the whole it seems there’s more work than workers right now.  I have info on people who need LAMP/PHP, Java and .Net people for either full time, contract or part time work.

I don’t know if there’s just an issue with fiscal years rolling over and new budgets happening, or if there’s some other explanation, but I’ve noticed a very large amount of activity going on here.  I just hope the positions get filled, because long term, if not, that would mean employers would look elsewhere to set up shop, expand and hire.
