OUR TAKE
EPAM and Visa are on hiring tears, but the real story is Jabil. They posted the same DevOps CI/CD role multiple times, a classic signal they can't fill internally. If you place DevOps talent, that's your call this week. AMD is also worth watching with 25 postings focused on GPU and AI infrastructure.

Competitor Watch
Motion Recruitment leads Austin staffing activity with 34 postings (18 contract), followed by Kforce (31, mostly contract), Robert Half (27), Randstad Digital (16, all contract), and Apex Systems (13). In total, 25 staffing firms posted 236 roles this week.
OUR TAKE
Kforce is almost entirely contract (28 of 31 postings). Randstad is 100% contract. These firms are winning C2H and temp business in Austin. If you compete in the same space, speed matters. If you don't, look at what skills they're placing and find the gaps.
