SherlockTech Staffing (www.sherlocktech.com) once again renews its deep bond with the South Florida IT community by bringing you the 3rd Annual South Florida ITProCamp.
Miami, FLA — A survey of over 400 South Florida IT professionals and companies conducted by SherlockTech Staffing ahead of the upcoming South Florida ITProCamp being held on Saturday, July 13th at Keiser University Fort Lauderdale campus, reveals a strengthening IT sector.
Fifty-eight percent of those polled indicated they are either hiring or planning new hires during the last half of 2013. This supports the 57 percent polled during SherlockTech’s ITPalooza event held in December 2012 who indicated that they would either hire or plan new hires during 2013
Also up from last year, 69 percent of individuals polled indicated they would be interested in new positions through 2013, this indicates a higher confidence rate among IT workers and should result in a more competitive market for job seekers.
“Once again we see demand outstripping supply in the hot South Florida IT market,†said Alex Funkhouser, CEO of Miami Beach based IT recruiting firm SherlockTech Staffing. “We have developed a deep relationship with the South Florida IT community over the last 15 years by managing and participating in hundreds of local events and user groups. This gives us unique insights and access to candidates and organizations, enabling us to offer unprecedented candidate matches.†Continued Funkhouser.

South Florida is unique in many ways and none more so than our geography. On the one hand our location to Latin America has made Miami the default gateway for trade to the region. On the other hand our almost 200 mile long tri-county presents unique challenges to our business community. In a world where collaboration is key, getting groups of people around the same table can be troublesome. Nevertheless, our tech community is strong and growing thanks in no small part to the efforts of groups like Venture Hive and Incubate Miami.

South Florida’s technology industry is at a turning point, poised for rapid growth, observers say.
To ensure the industry stays on course, the nonprofit South Florida Technology Alliance is launching a new campaign this week to raise the tech sector’s profile inside — and outside — the region.
But increasing awareness is not the only mission. Greater collaboration between existing technology companies and programs is critical to bringing in new companies, startup capital and tech professionals to the region, industry members say.

By one measure, South Florida’s app economy appears to be growing faster than the overall economy. The number of payroll jobs in information services, a broad sector of the economy encompassing software development and publishing, has risen by 1,200 in Miami-Dade and Broward counties since 2010, according to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics. The 12-month average for the two counties increased to 35,800 last year from 35,000 in 2011, a 2.3 percent rise, about double the growth rate of total non-farm employment in the two counties. National employment in information services totaled 2,688,000 in June, virtually unchanged from a year ago, the U.S. Department of Labor reported Friday.
