BANGALORE: The growth in IT sector may be slow, but the industry is on a path to rapid growth. Expansion is around the corner and this tends to create many vacancies in IT companies. But, this results in high competition and to help get candidates the front seat, here are some skills which the recruiters are after, as reported by Computer World.

1.Programming/Application Development

Programming certainly is a skill to be imbibed to survive in this industry, of the preliminary ones needed this may help your career more.

Programming has been the top most priority last year and the one before that. Companies are looking for those who can take the organization forward. With experts in application development, the companies can look up to them, the ones to stabilize company’s position.

But the recruiter’s woes are that there are not professionals with inherent qualities towards development or application.

2.Project Management

The second most searched skill or the ability one has to acquire, with surveys in flow project management piques 35 percent of recruiter’s interest next to programming/application development.

Organizations are in search of those who can handle projects and manage them to a successful closure, rather than those who span the company’s future prospects. Good project managers need a mix of business and technology acumen along with the ability to bridge those two areas.
