现在只要会写代码，找工作就根本不是事儿

我们早就知道，技术人才如今非常走俏，供不应求。不过，这种短缺的严重程度可能超出你的预料——实际上，最近一份调查显示，人才缺口可能达到2008年以来的最高点。

信息技术外包商Harvey Nash和毕马威会计师事务所在一年一度的首席信息官调查中发现，在超过3000名技术带头人中，有65%表示招聘困难正在影响这个行业，比例之高令人惊讶。这一比例较去年的59%增长6个百分点。

Harvey Nash美国公司总裁兼首席执行官鲍勃·米亚诺对《华尔街日报》表示：“这的确令人震惊。首席信息官可能会有很好的点子，但如果招不到IT人才，那也没辙。这个问题正在变得日益严重。”

该报告指出，数据分析专家岗位尤其难以填充。一些雇主正在采取额外的措施与合格候选人建立联系——微软最近宣布设立了一个旨在培养数据科学人才的专业学位项目。

然而，技术人才缺口不仅限于任何一个岗位。会写代码的人数整体不足，无论是做移动应用后端，还是开发云计算平台的人才。这意味着，技术类求职者在科技业内外都十分紧俏。实际上，本月在Monster发布最多技术岗位招聘信息的并不是科技公司，而是医疗巨头联合健康集团（UnitedHealth Group）。

不过，除了数据科学家，安全和云计算也是格外突出的IT支出领域——因此招人需求也很大。在戴尔公司发布的年度IT趋势研究报告中，云计算领域被认定为潜在增长领域，多数受访者都表示，云计算是各自公司的主要技术趋势。

与此同时，网络安全也是美国政府近来招聘的重点领域：美国国土安全局获准引进1000名新的信息技术安全专家。更加引起轰动的是，联邦调查局为解密圣贝纳迪诺枪击案凶手的iPhone，向黑客支付了100万美元。

最后，项目经理和业务分析师也被评为紧俏职业，而对掌握IT架构技术的员工的需求，在一段时间的走低之后，如今又开始增加。（财富中文网）

We’ve known for a while now that there’s a tech talent shortage. But that shortage may be even bigger than you’d expected—in fact, according to a recent survey, it may be at its highest level since 2008.

IT outsourcer Harvey Nash and auditing firm KPMG surveyed over 3,000 technology leaders for their annual CIO Survey, and found that an astonishing 65% said that hiring challenges are hurting the industry. That number marks a six-point increase over last year’s survey, where 59% expressed that sentiment.

“That’s pretty staggering,” Bob Miano, president and CEO of Harvey Nash USA, told the Wall Street Journal. “CIOs may have great ideas but if you can’t get the IT talent, that’s a growing problem.”

The report points to data analytics experts as one role that’s especially hard to fill. Some employers are taking extra steps to connect with qualified candidates on that front—Microsoft MSFT 0.10% recently announced a professional degree program aimed at fostering data science talent.

But the tech talent gap is larger than any one role. It’s an overall shortage of people who know how to code, whether they’re doing back-end on mobile apps or developing cloud-computing platforms. That means that tech job seekers are uniquely in demand both within the tech industry and without. In fact, the company that posted the most tech job listings on Monster this month wasn’t a tech company at all, but health care giant UnitedHealth Group UNH 2.11% .

Beyond data scientists, though, security and cloud computing are singled out as particular areas of IT spending—and subsequent hiring demand. The latter field was also identified as a potential growth area in Dell’s annual State of IT Trends report, in which a majority of respondents described cloud computing as their company’s primary tech trend.

Cybersecurity, meanwhile, has been a recent point of hiring focus for the U.S. government: the Department of Homeland Security received clearance to bring on 1,000 new IT security experts earlier this year—while, more sensationally, the FBI paid hackers over $1 million to unlock the San Bernardino shooter’s iPhone.

Finally, project managers and business analysts are also named as roles in high demand, while workers with IT architecture skills are mentioned as enjoying growing demand after a period of decline.
