\"\" Atlanta has long been one of the top tech cities on Dice, with an abundance of top-tier universities pumping out tech talent, as well as established and startup companies with tech needs. On any given day, there are more than 2,800 technology jobs on Dice in the ATL, from companies in a variety of industries ranging from airlines<\/a> and retailers<\/a> to healthcare providers<\/a> and tech firms.<\/a> According to Dice\u2019s analysis of data from the Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS), tech jobs have grown 2.3 percent this year in Atlanta, up from 1.8 percent for 2016. The proliferation of technology is creating challenges for employers that need tech talent, yet are competing with nearly every other company in the city. While pay is one way to stand apart and attract talent, understanding the unique market here can help hiring managers make strategic hiring decisions. We analyzed our Dice data to determine Atlanta\u2019s supply\/demand dynamics. We discovered jobs in key areas such as Big Data, product testing and security received more applications from candidates compared to jobs in more traditional areas such as engineering and non-open source technologies. For example, jobs that involved database modeling received 125 applications on average compared to SAP SCM, which received 1.8 applicants from July to September 2017. <\/p>\n
