Large number of companies are deploying cloud-based services and promise to recruit relevant talent

Cloud computing is an important business tool in most IT services companies. A lot of organisations are either using their internal talent to deploy cloud-based activities or outsourcing the same to a third party – but either way these companies have started to realise the real need of implementing cloud-based services for different functions.

As a result of implementing cloud-based services, organisations are also going to face a sea change in the overall business performance. In fact, a large number of companies have been witnessing a change in their way of working over the past couple of years, after implement this tool.

Keeping this in mind, organisations are now concerned about hiring people with relevant skill sets to man their cloud computing services. They want specialists and not generalists to handle these services. While they are ready to hire people with a general know-how of cloud-based technologies, they expect these employees to come up to speed with advanced cloud-based technologies as soon as possible.

Besides the core technical skill sets required to service cloud computing, there are few other complementary skills that the companies are giving equal attention to – such as a thorough understanding of the business processes, ability to analyse business needs, project management skills, negotiation skills, application development skills, etc. According to industry experts organisations will continue to seek fresh talent with cloud computing skills over the next 5-10 years.

According to leading international tech website, the top 10 skills that companies are eyeing currently for cloud specialists are – Linux OS, SaaS Programming, Python, Perl, DevOps, and Ruby among others. These skills can be acquired in several ways. Existing set of employees can gain appropriate knowledge while working and also get cloud certifications from globally recognised institutes.

Having proper validation of cloud computing knowledge is critical for everyone who is involved in the cloud-based services. The reason why companies lay focus on cloud certification is because it allows them to measure an individual’s knowledge and skills against industry benchmarks.

Based on the validation, some of the roles which are most in demand are IT specialist, security specialist, process specialist, computer operators, etc. According to one of the experts featured in a Techgig.com webinar, since cloud adoption is still in a early phase, there are a lot of vacant positions in IT services companies and that it’s a good sign for all the job seekers. JobBuzz.com data indicates that Data Analyst is one of the highest paid profiles in the IT industry.

According to Techgig.com some of the current job openings across all experience levels are application developer, senior engineer– cloud services, cloud project manager, cloud and infrastructure architect, lead architect, cloud systems consultant, etc.
