"The future has already arrived. It's just not evenly distributed yet." -William Gibson

Currently, unemployment for computer scientists and programmers is trending around 5%, relatively high for a white-collar profession. But many high-tech companies caution that even with this saturated talent pool, few candidates have the specialized skills sought after by tech companies. This shortage of qualified engineers has grown more acute in the last six to twelve months, triggering the "fiercest war" for talent in more than a decade.

As in any industry, the role of HR in high-tech is to secure the best talent possible, talent that is sufficiently engaged in work that adapts to the needs of the business.
