Companies Seek New Talent but Keep Hiring Costs Low

July 6, 2010

San Francisco, CA – Recent reports show that June employment numbers were lower than the US economy was hoping for, however signs of growth is evident in the local technology marketplace. Strong hiring trends have emerged within the technology sector, with a steady need of talent within the business intelligence, user experience design and the software development divisions of local companies. "Hiring is definitely on the rise within our technology client base due to the fact that many of our clients are investing heavily in next generation products and focusing less on post production support." says Mark Lillig, San Francisco's Managing Director.

Much of Cypress HCM’s ability to gain insight into the steady hiring needs stems from programs they provide for many of their customers throughout the San Francisco Bay Area. More specifically, Cypress HCM’s Recruitment Process Outsourcing Program (RPO) has proven to be highly sought after with the recent change in the local marketplace. "We deliver tangible value to our customers and show a meaningful return on their investment to our customers. Our mission with this program is simple; listen to what the customer wants and develop a program tailored to those needs. We have tremendous partnerships in place that allows us to layer in recruitment technologies with our professional service, which in result, provides our clients with organization, recruitment depth, and savings."
