Slow Economy Driving Market for Technical Experts, Consulting Firms

Feb. 11, 2011 - PRLog -- Difficult economic conditions have discouraged many companies from hiring in-house technical experts.  This has left those companies in a tough position as they try to solve complex technical problems without the expertise they need.  As a consequence, the market for contract services is growing as technical companies seek outside assistance from technical consultants.

The growing market for technical consultants indicates a fundamental shift in the structure of the technical workforce.  Companies who are streamlining their processes are finding that they no longer need to retain full-time experts to solve problems that only occur a few times a year.  It’s extremely difficult to justify that level of overhead.  Instead, companies are relying on individual experts, or teams of experts, to sweep in, solve their problems, and move on.

NoNovice.com, which provides online resources for technical experts and consultants, has noticed this trend growing throughout the past several months.  The number of available full-time job openings has remained low, and many companies are now calling for contract services.  Also, many laid-off and unemployed engineers and technical experts are now starting their own consulting businesses, and are submitting their profiles to the NoNovice.com Technical Experts Directory (http://www.nonovice.com/technical-experts.aspx).


About the Technical Experts Directory:
The Technical Experts Directory is an interactive listing of technical experts in the fields of engineering, science, technology, and manufacturing.  The directory allows companies to easily locate the specific expertise, education, and experience they need.  Directory profiles include education and experience details, and may optionally include complete resumes and job histories, depending on the technical expert’s individual preferences.  Also, profiles can be listed anonymously, so personal contact information can be protected and provided only upon request.

The Technical Experts Directory is free to all experienced engineers, technical experts, consulting firms, and technical employers.  For more information, and to create a free profile, visit: http://www.nonovice.com/technical-experts.aspx
