Among the respondents that plan to either add staff or keep the same levels, 39 percent believe their hiring needs will increase while 52 percent of respondents expect their hiring needs to remain steady.
"Employers have indicated that hiring will remain steady and continue to increase in Silicon Valley," says Michael Williams, president and CEO of West Valley Staffing Group. "The second quarter of 2012 is the fourth consecutive quarter of reported employment growth, according to our data."
