EL SEGUNDO, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- iRise^®, the global leader in enterprise visualization solutions, today announced that its flagship software platform has been mentioned as one of five “new trends” in searches conducted by hiring managers, according to the July, 2011 issue of The Dice Report. The Dice Report, issued by leading career website Dice.com, is a monthly analysis of job postings and other search activity related to the technology and engineering industries.

“On Dice, job postings get top billing. Tech professionals hit our search engine and job postings are their beacon to a new career move,” said Alice Hill, Dice.com Managing Director, in the July report. “But behind the scenes, another central role is played by HR professionals and recruiters—mining the Dice resume database to find qualified professionals who are a fit for their organizations.”

Based on the keyword activity from these key hiring decision-makers, “iRise” was identified as a one of the top five emerging search terms industrywide. Trends are identified as those search terms experiencing both breadth and frequency, according to Dice.com sources. “The emergence of new trends often occurs first in our resume database, simply because 80 percent of employers search resumes before posting their job,” Hill said in her published remarks. “Based on our insights, it’s time to take notice of this group of five.”

“Given the need for enterprises to both accelerate time-to-market and produce ‘consumerized’ business applications that have an intuitive look-and-feel, visualization has become critically important to the development process,” said Emmet Keeffe, CEO of iRise. “It’s exciting to see individuals with iRise expertise becoming highly sought after in the tech industry—and that their investment in this specialized skill is leading to exciting career advancement opportunities.”
