Over in Radwin's blog, he talks of a possible tech recovery with Yahoo hiring more engineers. (It does feel good to be at a company that's hiring once again.) His next entry, Resume Overload reflects the reality of tech job seekers today--there are a lot of 'em out there looking for work.
His experience aside, I've also noticed things warming up a bit. How? Recruiters. It's been a while, but recruiters have been calling (and e-mailing) again.
I've noticed a real difference between the recruiters of today and the recruiters of a couple years ago. Those who are still in business are the smart ones. They're not just reading from a list of skills and checking items off on a list. They seem to better understand their client's needs, better understand the technology, and they don't seem rushed.
Anyone else noticing this?

Is it possible that you're drawing a higher caliber of headhunter because in the last 3 years you've become a more senior person, and have a much higher web visibility which enable recruiters for more senior positions to determine that you're a likely candidate before they contact you directly?
Probably some of both this and the survival of the fittest thing.
May be that MySQL.com and CNN articles have been affecting the increasing demand for Jeremy ;-)
