As reported by Marcia Pounds in the Sun-Sentinel, Alex Funkhouser of Sherlock Tech Staffing says it’s not the perks that matter most to technology professionals, it’s the skill level and shared knowledge.
Companies like Ultimate Software are fantastic organizations. People go in and they don’t come out. They hire really sharp people,” Funkhouser said.
With its relaxed culture and enviable employee benefits, Weston-based human resources and payroll software developer Ultimate Software Group could be the Google of South Florida.
Like Google, Ultimate Software was recently recognized as one of Fortune magazine’s “100 Best Companies to Work For.” The company says it puts “people first” — the motto is stamped on the headquarters entrance — and that results in employee satisfaction and shows up in the bottom line.

Employment in South Florida’s technology sector can be a roller-coaster experience, with workers riding the ups and downs of changing businesses and technologies.
When companies shrink, affecting the local market, it’s “a little frustrating sometimes,” said David Coddington, vice president of business development for the Greater Fort Lauderdale Alliance. “It’s just a fast-changing industry,” he said.
Just before the recession, the region’s employment got a big boost from international technology companies locating here.
Motorola was already in South Florida and in downsizing mode as it moved from two-way radios and cellphones to public safety communication devices and other specialized products. But in 2008, the Chicago-based company still employed 2,500 people in Plantation.
The 10th annual CodeCamp this past Saturday was the largest yet, we had 1,243 registered for a tremendous day of learning and networking. Another great South Florida tradition was announced, SQL Saturday is coming June 14th to the same NSU venue.
I’m pleased and proud to announce SherlockTech’s nomination for the Beacon Council Awards. Each year The Beacon council selects nominees in various categories who are recognized for their outstanding contribution to business development in Miami-Dade. The winners will be honored during the 12th Annual Beacon Awards to be held on April 9 at the Ritz-Carlton Key Biscayne.
Saturday Feb 22 saw another spectacular CodeCamp held at NSU’s Graduate School of Information and Computer Sciences. Dave Noderer and his team did a fantastic job – as always – of organizing the event and the delegates sure had a good time. Classes were filled to capacity and as the best speakers turned out with red hot topics! After a day of learning and sharing, nothing gets the pulse racing like a massive Swag give-a-way and that’s just what everyone was entertained with as the days festivities drew to and end.
