CTPartners, global executive search firm and member of the AESC, recently published their 2011 Executive Hot Jobs Report. The annual publication analyses business trends and hiring patterns to identify executive positions that will be highly sought after in the coming year.

In 2011 we can expect a number of previously underappreciated areas such as Board of Directors and HR to be recognised as key elements in business, resulting in an increase in demand for executives in these functions. In addition, hot trends such as social media, cloud computing and clean energy will see top organizations competing for senior executives with experience in these areas.

Read the full 2011 Hot Executive Jobs Report to learn which executives will be in most demand and ensure that you are incorporating elements from future trends into your knowledge and experience.
