CareerBuilder is bullish on 2011 hiring across all sectors.
The company says that "stronger employment trend are expected in the U.S. for the New Year." CareerBuilder (CB) said that more than half of employers reported that they are in better financial position today than one year ago. They note that, while job additions will be greater in 2011 than 2011, the growth will be gradual. CB surveyed more than 2,400 managers and HR professionals in conducting the survey.
Number one on the list of positions to be recruited for is sales (27%).
As companies look to expand their reach, a strong sales force is always in the works. Information Technology was number two, at 26%; customer service was third at 25%; engineering came in fourth with 21%; and the ominous "technology" was number five, at 19%.
In terms of full-time hires, 58% said that they plan to make no change, 11% weren't sure, 7% are looking to lay off more, and 24% are planning on expansion of their employee count.
Though, for those that stick around when job hiring normalizes, 61% of employers plan on increase compensation in 2011, from 57% in 2010. Most employers are planning on raising salaries 3% or less, with 10% planning a 5% raise or more.
More fun facts: 71% said that they plan on making no change to part-time worker hires; 66% said that they aren't looking to hire contract/temp workers; 3% of employers are planning a decrease in salaries; and companies in the Western U.S. plan on making more new hires in 2011 compared to other regions.
Considering that sales is the top hire expected in 2011, companies that specialize in Customer Relationship Management (CRM) should be watched heading into the new year. The top performer, and arguably only 'pure play' of the group, Salesforce.com (NYSE: CRM). CRM saw its stock nearly double this year and should still be poised for gains next year if the prediction by CB holds up.
Oracle (Nasdaq: ORCL) offers CRM on Demand, SAP (NYSE: SAP) offers CRM in a Business Suite (though no catchy name...one demerit SAP), Microsoft
(Nasdaq: MSFT) has Dynamics CRM, and International Business Machines
(NYSE: IBM) has both WebSphere ILOG Business Rule Management Systems (+1 IBM!) and partnerships with SAP, Oracle, KANA, and Avaya for CRM solutions.
