LinkedIn analyses interactions from its 7 million members to identify the 30 most-desired employers down under and the skills they’re looking for. (It compiled a similar global ranking last year.) We’ve pulled out all the roles with an IT focus:
| Company | Rank | Skills sought |
|---|---|---|
| #2 | Distributed systems, Python, algorithms | |
| Microsoft | #4 | Cloud computing, Windows Azure, enterprise software |
| Apple | #7 | iLife, iWork, iOS |
| Accenture | #14 | Business transformation, requirements analysis, business process design |
| IBM | #21 | Solution architecture, cloud computing, pre-sales |
| NBN | #22 | Stakeholder management, project delivery, telecommunications |
| HP | #28 | Service delivery, IT service management, ITIL |
That listing is dominated by IT providers, but that doesn’t mean it isn’t worth considering other employers in the top 30. All of the “big four” banks are on the list, for instance, and IT remains a key focus of demand there. Hit the link belong for the longer list.
