Sure, the unemployment rate has been way too high for far too long — but there is a silver lining: The city is crawling with hiring managers who say they can't find enough good people. Chairs, cubes and offices that could be filled are sitting empty while there's lots of meaningful work to be done.
As a result, companies are eager to hire as quickly as possible.
"If I could find 10 good people to hire tomorrow, I'd do it," says Alex Moazed, president of Applico, a Gramercy-based mobile strategy and consulting services provider.
Although Moazed is looking to hire workers whose job descriptions vary from other companies also hiring this year, the attitude and character of the workers they covet are pretty much the same.
NEW YEAR, NEW JOB: Despite the high unemployment rate, many companies are searching for more workers in 2013.
"Personality and cultural fit trump competency any day of the week," says Neil Blumenthal, co-CEO of hip eyeglass maker Warby Parker.
So if you're seeking work, the only thing standing between you and your next job may be knowing where to look — and fortunately, we've got your back on that one. To find out who's hiring, we consulted the Bureau of Labor Statistics, workforce experts, a slew of city agencies, and companies and recruiters who have jobs to fill.
Here's where the hot jobs are in 2013:
MADE IN NYC
For years, the city's job growth came from Wall Street and mega corporations, but over the past few years, younger, rapidly growing companies are giving those iconic industries a run for their money. Warby Parker, for instance, has grown from one to 154 employees in the past two years, and the company plans to double its staff by the end of 2013. Applico and doctors-appointment-booking Web site ZocDoc both say they'll grow their payrolls by 50 percent in the new year.
Although these "made in New York" start-ups certainly hire their share of geeks, they hire plenty of other types, too — and some of the jobs they seek to fill didn't even exist five years ago. For example, Tumblr is searching for "evangelists" — essentially, people who foster relationships between the blogging platform and leaders in various fields by helping to get them started on the site and showing them how Tumblr can help promote their industries. Warby Parker needs "customer experience associates" who can "kill customers with kindness"; ZocDoc is recruiting mobile designers, as well as Hindi, Mandarin and Italian writers/translators; Applico needs mobile strategists.
But if you don't have an established track record in roles like these, don't despair.
"The specific skills you bring to the table aren't generally as important as the personality and passion you bring to the workplace," says Karsten Vagner, director of people at ZocDoc. To that end, he has hired actors, teachers, singers, dancers and actors to work at the company. "It's not what you've done but who you are," he adds.
