獵頭公司最新調查顯示，今年，各大公司將繼續大手筆招攬人才，尤其是科技、金融、醫療保健和人力資源四個領域的人才。而這四個領域中，10個崗位的管理人才格外搶手。
全球獵頭公司CTPartners最近進行的一項調查顯示，與2013年一樣，大公司“坐擁萬億美元，正在緊張觀望。”今年，他們會將更多資金用于招聘一些關鍵戰略崗位的高管人才。CTPartners的CEO布萊恩•薩利文說：“科技正表現出前所未有的巨大影響力，”受到影響的工作崗位也越來越多，包括人力資源和醫療崗位。
十八年來，這家公司每年進行一次調查，研究各大公司的高管聘用情況。今年的調查顯示：“大數據的規模將日益擴大，因為為了獲得競爭優勢，各家公司都競相收集信息，把它們轉化成利潤。”報告稱，近幾年增長迅速的云計算和在線教育今年還將進一步加速，而公司對網絡安全專家的需求也將隨之擴大，以更好應對黑客的侵擾。今年節日購物季期間，塔吉特（Target）的安全災難不僅給零售商，也給其他公司敲響了警鐘。
今年雇主的“新年愿望清單”上還有其他領域的專家，尤其是面對日益嚴格的美國聯邦法規，負責合規問題的相關專業人士變得更受歡迎。下面是四個發展最快領域中的十大最熱門高管職位：
科技領域：
1. 首席信息官。薩利文說：“雖然聽起來有些老套，但首席技術官這個職位的演變使它對公司具有前所未有的重要性。”他補充道，數據、移動、數字和分析的重要性將CIO從“幕后推到了臺前”。許多公司針對這個職務專門增設了高級副總裁或其他高管頭銜，也反映了這種趨勢。
2. 首席營銷官。CTPartners的報告稱：“首席營銷官職務正在迅速進化。”因為營銷專家們“越來越有必要證明營銷正在推動公司的收益與發展。”其中目前需求最大的是“精通數字領域的營銷領導者，他們需要證明自己能夠開發新的業務模式。”
3. 首席風險官/網絡安全官。報告稱，保護公司的數字資產“從來沒有像現在這樣重要，也從來沒有向今天這么困難。”報告補充道，保證客戶數據安全的能力將是2014年及未來“各大公司的三大首要任務之一。”
4. 移動商務總監。報告稱，隨著消費者對智能手機和平板設備的日益依賴，移動商務在零售業和其他領域 “已經成為新的電子商務形式”。隨著日益成熟的新應用不斷上線，“了解移動用戶行為與需求的高管將擁有巨大的市場。”

| Just as they were in 2013, companies now are "nervously sitting on over $1 trillion in cash," says a new report from global executive search firm CTPartners. One big difference: This year, they'll spend more of that pile to hire executive talent in some key strategic jobs. "Technology's impact is being felt more than ever," notes CTPartners CEO Brian Sullivan -- and in more kinds of jobs than ever, too, including human resources and health care.
"Big data will only grow bigger, as organizations race to collect and monetize information to gain competitive advantage," according to his firm's 18th annual survey on which executives companies are trying to hire. The fast growth of cloud computing and online education in the past couple of years will accelerate this year, the report says, as will demand for cybersecurity experts who can oversee stronger defenses against hackers. Just ask Target (TGT), whose security debacle at the peak of the holiday shopping season gave plenty of other companies -- and not just retailers -- cause for concern.
Expertise in other areas, especially compliance with stiffer federal regulations in the U.S., is on employers' wish list this year, too. Here are 10 of the hottest executive jobs now, in four fast-growing fields:
Technology:
1. Chief information officer. "It may sound old hat, but the role's evolution makes it more critical to companies than it's ever been," notes Sullivan. The importance of data, mobile, digital, and analytics has moved CIOs "from the back room to the boardroom," he adds -- a shift reflected in the fact that many companies now add senior vice president or another executive title to the job.
2. Chief marketing officer. "The CMO job is rapidly evolving," the CTPartners report notes, as head marketing mavens "increasingly need the ability to show that marketing is actually driving revenue and growth." In big demand right now are "digitally savvy marketing leaders who can show they're capable of developing new business models."
3. Chief risk officer/cybersecurity officer. Protecting any company's digital assets "has never been more important -- or more difficult," the report notes, adding that the ability to assure customers their data is secure will be "a top-three corporate priority" in 2014 and beyond.
4. Head of M-commerce. In retail and elsewhere, mobile commerce "has become the new e-commerce," the report says, as consumers get ever more reliant on smartphones and tablets. With new and more sophisticated apps coming online all the time, "executives who understand mobile user behavior and needs will be in demand."

金融服務領域：
5. 合規總監。銀行和其他大型金融公司正在努力應對日益嚴格的政府監管，因此在金融服務行業，擅長應對監管的高管有很大缺口。薩利文說：“過去兩年，這個職位的薪酬上漲了約25%。”他同時表示，合規團隊的平均規模“并不是在緩慢增長，而是擴大了一倍、甚至兩倍。”
6. 首席財務官/財務總監，中國。這份報告表示，成本的增加和巨大的潛力讓中國市場變得愈加難以捉摸，使得各大公司迫切需要既能管理快速發展又能保證利潤增長的高管，“尤其是在醫療與日用消費品行業” 。
7. 首席數字官，保險行業。報告稱：“保險行業正在走出黑暗時代，保險公司開始越來越多地利用互聯網拓展客戶關系。薩利文補充道，為了適應互聯網上幾乎是無限量的可用信息，“保險公司需要進行更全面的分析，而不是像過去那樣，只要進行風險、定價或洞察分析就夠了。”
醫療保健領域：
8. 首席策略官。薩利文稱，醫療改革可能成為保險公司獲取收益的“金礦”，但“事實證明，要遵守不斷變化的規定也是一個重要的挑戰。”因此，難怪許多醫療保健公司正在尋找既能負責合規事宜，又能帶領美國公司實現海外擴張的高管。
9. 市場準入副總裁。報告稱：“在生物、醫藥、設備和診斷公司，吸引新客戶始終是一個熱門話題。因為在應對變化莫測的市場路徑方面，這類公司始終落后于人。”而且，新技術給銷售帶來的復雜性，需要“對這種復雜性有深入認識的市場專業人士進行全面反思。”
人力資源領域：
10. 首席人力資源官。報告表示，“過去幾年，這個職位的吸引力在不斷增加，在2014年更是達到前所未有的熱度，”因為“CEO們逐漸意識到，為了獲得競爭優勢，必須在人事方面多做文章。”
值得注意的是，大數據對人力資源領域的影響也在逐漸擴大。2014年一個極有前途的職位是：人力資源分析總監。報告稱，這個職位的直接上司將是公司的首席人力資源官。“（人力資源分析總監的）職責是利用數據推動明智的商業決策，讓公司的人力資源政策更加科學，”——包括具體崗位的用人策略。（財富中文網）

5. Head of compliance. As banks and other big financial companies grapple with increased government oversight, the industry can't find enough executives well versed in handling regulation. "Total compensation for this role is up about 25% in the past two years," Sullivan says, adding that the average size of teams in this area "haven't just grown, they have doubled or tripled in size."
6. CFO/finance director, China. The combination of rising costs and vast potential have made China a particularly tricky market, boosting demand for executives who understand how to manage fast growth while keeping profits up, "particularly in the health care and consumer goods sectors," the report says.
7. Chief digital officer, insurance. "The insurance industry is emerging from the dark ages, with insurers' relationships with consumers increasingly beginning online," the report notes. In order to keep up with the almost unlimited information available online, Sullivan adds, "insurers need to embrace holistic analytics, not just risk or pricing or insight analytics" as they did in simpler times.
Health care:
8. Chief strategy officer. Health care reform could turn out to be a revenue gold mine for insurance companies, Sullivan observes, but "compliance with the seemingly daily changes in the rules has proven to be a major challenge." Small wonder, then, that health care companies are looking for executives who can handle that while also figuring out how U.S. companies can expand in markets overseas.
9. Vice president of market access. Reaching new customers "remains a hot topic in bio, pharma, device, and diagnostic companies, as they are behind the curve in addressing the ever-changing routes to market," the report says, adding that new technology-driven complexities in distribution call for "a complete rethink by market professionals who understand the new complexities."
Human resources:
10. Chief human resources officer. "This post has been gaining traction over the past few years but is hotter than ever" in 2014, according to the report, since "CEOs increasingly recognize that they need more from their people to gain a competitive advantage."
It's worth noting that big data is gaining ground in HR, too. One more up-and-coming job title for 2014: Head of HR analytics, who reports to the HR chief and, the report says, "helps HR become more scientific in using data to drive smart business decisions" -- including whom to hire for which job.
