The job levees are giving way; you can tell by taking a close look at Stout Systems.

The Ann Arbor-based technology staffing firm helped 30-plus highly skilled people transition into new work in 2010. It's also seen a rise in its own core staff to keep up with demand. In 2007, three people held executive and administrative roles. Today the firm has six full-time and one part-time positions to handle those duties. It's also is in the process of hiring another 1-2 people to augment that core staff.

"There has been an explosive demand for technical people," says John Stout, president and founder of Stout Systems. "There is a lot of pent up demand in the IT and software business. We have more job openings for us and our clients than we have seen in 10 years."

Stout Systems either finds technical people or sends its own techies out to its customers to get jobs done. These workers cover all technology aspects, ranging from IT to software development. This year Stout expects a 50-percent sales increase.

"That represents a real growth in the demand for our services," Stout says.
