OUR TAKE
EPAM and Visa are on hiring tears, but the real story is Jabil Circuit. They posted the same DevOps CI/CD role multiple times. That's a company throwing money at a problem they can't solve internally. If you place DevOps talent, that's your call this week.
Competitor Watch
Robert Half leads Austin staffing activity with 35 postings, followed by Motion Recruitment (34), Kforce (28), and Randstad Digital (18). In total, 23 staffing firms posted 265 roles this week. The market is active and agencies are winning business here.
OUR TAKE
Robert Half and Motion Recruitment are clearly winning Austin contracts right now. If you're competing for the same roles, speed matters. If you're not, look at what skills they're placing (Java, Python, Cybersecurity) and find the gaps they're missing.
Hottest Skills this Week
Data Engineer (106), Cybersecurity (99), Machine Learning (96), Project Manager (94), Network Engineer (92). Python and DevOps remain in high demand across the board.
Quick Takes
· 133 companies are posting 3+ IT roles simultaneously, accounting for 60% of all client postings. If you're prioritizing outreach this week, start here.
· 74% of postings are remote. The 26% that are on-site or hybrid are where your local presence gives you an edge over national firms.
· Jabil Circuit posted the same DevOps CI/CD role multiple times. That's a company struggling to fill a critical seat. Pick up the phone.
· EPAM leads Austin with 49 postings, mostly AI and Python. High volume like this usually means their internal recruiting team is stretched thin.
· The top 10 hiring companies are posting almost exclusively full-time roles. The contract/C2H demand (39% of all postings) is concentrated in mid-size companies posting contract and temporary positions.
