SUNNYVALE, Calif., March 8, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- Silicon Valley hiring levels are expected to maintain strong through the second quarter of the year. According to the latest West Valley Staffing Group Economic Survey, employers from the greater part of Silicon Valley look forward to rising hiring levels.

Each quarter, West Valley Staffing Group (WVSG) surveys a range of Silicon Valley hiring managers about their upcoming hiring needs. The hiring managers come from several industries, including high tech, manufacturing, electronics, finance, semiconductor, medical, aerospace, and alternative energy. Each participant is asked, "Do you expect your hiring needs to increase, remain steady, or decrease in the next quarter and beyond?" This is the only economic survey uniquely exclusive to Silicon Valley!

Hundreds of hiring managers were surveyed this quarter, in which 97% predicted hiring will increase or remain steady during the second quarter of 2013, compared to 90% at this time last year. Meanwhile, only 3% of hiring managers expect their needs to decrease.

"Hiring managers from Silicon Valley are looking at another solid quarter," said Charlie Allport, Executive Vice President of West Valley Staffing Group.  "We are seeing healthy numbers of job orders and this survey indicates that we are heading into a busy second quarter."
