There are lots of recruiters out there trying to find mainframe developers for both direct and contract jobs. Many of them will want to know your qualifications before they spend much time on you, but I've noticed that many of them are perfectly willing to broadcast their reqs (short for "requirements") to all and sundry without much regard for whether they fit your particular skills. So if what you want is just a general idea of what kind of demand is out there, you could contact a few recruiting houses and ask; even if no one will send you long explanatory emails, you'll very probably end up on a few mailing lists.
I've been contracting for a couple decades now so I get emails like that all the time - typically five or fifteen most weeks. I specialize in mainframe security these days, but that doesn't stop recruiters from sending me reqs for other positions. If you want, I'll forward a few of them to you; you can, if you like, use that as contact information to the recruiters who have such jobs to offer. (But I promise you that almost every IT recruiter has mainframe jobs to offer.) --- Bob Bridges, [email protected], cell 336 382-7313 /* The harder I practice, the luckier I get. -Gary Player */ -----Original Message----- From: IBM Mainframe Discussion List [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of scott Ford Sent: Tuesday, March 10, 2020 17:16 I have a question about the Mainframe Software industry, i am in the technical end of it and ready dont have the access I would like to know whether there is new software development going on on z/OS ...Could someone point me to a source ( even a url would help ), to see what the industry demand is .. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [email protected] with the message: INFO IBM-MAIN
