The Ecomony is GREAT for Techies

Calling all MIT, Georgia Tech, Virginia Tech, and Cal Tech grads.  Tech companies are hiring again and they are looking for YOU!

Thursday, Google announced it hired 786 employees in the first quarter and is expected to continue hiring throughout 2010:

"We expect to continue hiring aggressively through the year," said Google Chief Financial Officer Patrick Pichette on a call with analysts. "We have a strong pipeline of candidates primarily focused on engineering and sales, and we are on-boarding them to fuel our growth agenda as fast as possible."

Intel is hiring for the first time in five years, Cisco will add 2,000 to 3,000 workers, and loads of smaller companies and start-ups are headhunting as well. “It’s a very competitive job market,” says a LinkedIn VP.

Social-networking company LinkedIn Corp. said it recruited 184 people last year to bring its work force to around 500 people, with most of that hiring done in the fourth quarter. The company has hired an additional 154 people so far this year.
