Two more points to take from the article:

1. Big Data is here to stay and remains one of the biggest catalysts for hiring.

2. Companies that have been hoarding cash are now sitting on a ton of money and are ready to use that money hire new employees.  However, they’ll be hiring in a more strategic fashion, with an eye toward technology.

FEEDBACK: Do you place any of the executives included in the list above?  If so, have you placed more of them lately?  How many do you think you’ll place in the coming year?
