Spotlight USA

The USA is firmly established as a land of opportunity for qualified physicists and engineers. A detailed analysis released by the UK's Royal Society in March 2011 reveals that 21% of all science research papers published between 2004-2008 originated in the US, which in turn accounted for 30% of all citations. And that strong research base – combined with the aspirational spirit of the American dream – is a powerful driver for a vibrant high-tech industry that includes everything from innovative start-ups to the largest companies in the world.

Here on brightrecruits.com we've certainly seen a dramatic growth in US activity in recent months. Traffic from the US has increased by 166% compared to the same time last year, allowing US recruiters to reach a targeted audience of jobseekers with a background in science and engineering.
