Unlike the last couple of years, it's becoming clear that the west coast market is tightening up for talented employees with experience in consumer-facing businesses. At the Casual Games conference, everyone seemed be hiring, with what I believe was Pogo.com actually making a plea for resumes from the panel. Given how many start ups are being funded by VC's right now, I think we'll see a tough labor market by Spring 2006, whether it's search, shopping, mobile, or digital media. This means companies really need to look at their overall compensation structures, as well as consider alternative options such as using off-shore firms and or offering more flexible work policies in order to attract and retain smart employees.
On that note, we're hiring for 5 positions right now, and it's a great place to work :). www.donnerwood.com
