    文档数字化公司Ripcord完成2500万美元B轮融资,谷歌风投领投 文档数字化公司Ripcord近日完成2500万美元融资,谷歌风投领投。 Telstra Ventures、Icon Ventures、凯鹏华盈、Lux Capital和硅谷银行跟投,就在几个月前,Ripcord刚刚完成4000万美元B轮融资。此次融资属于上一次B轮融资,该公司称为B1轮。 Ripcord提供机器人和软件用于对办公室和储存设备中的文档数字化。对于大型企业来说,这是一个非常严重的问题。他们积累了大量文档,需要的时候却搜索不到。 Ripcord联合创始人兼CEO Alex Fielding透露,公司凭借其产品已经拿下几名重要客户,包括Bechtel、UCLA(加州大学洛杉矶分校),以及财富100和全球10大中的公司。 截至目前,该公司共融资7450万美元,今年共6500万美元。 Ripcord计划用新一轮融资加快业务增长。该公司目前有100名员工,在接下来的12个月里,这一数字会翻一番。Fielding说,公司的最终目标是解决纸质文档令人头疼的问题。虽然过去几十年来,存储纸质信息已经成为惯例,但现在是时候迈入数字化时代了。 【猎云网(微信号:ilieyun)】12月21日报道 (编译:可芮ccino)

    甲骨文16亿美元收购Aconex 增强云计算业务 美国科技巨头甲骨文公司(Oracle)已经同意斥资16亿美元收购基于云计算的建筑软件供应商Aconex,这笔交易将以全额现金支付的方式完成。 在纽约上市的甲骨文将以每股7.80美元的价格收购Aconex的所有股票,这Aconex上周五收盘时5.29美元的价格高出47%。两家公司将共同为建筑工程提供项目管理和项目交付的端到端解决方案。Aconex首席执行官利·贾斯珀(Leigh Jasper)在声明中表示:“在远景、产品、人力和地理方面,Aconex和甲骨文的业务具有高度契合性和互补性。” 今年1月份,Aconex发布了盈利预警,导致该公司股价下跌近50%。但在全球基础设施投资增长的帮助下,其下半年业绩强劲反弹。该公司于2014年12月在ASX上市。该公司表示,董事会已一致建议股东投票支持这笔交易,但必须要有独立专家的报告,而且没有更高的报价。此外,这份交易还需要获得外国投资审查委员会的批准,预计将于2018年上半年完成。

    提高软件开发人员工作效率,Clubhouse获1000万美元A轮融资 人们常常形容工作是玩命竞争,对于工程师来说,这种说法并不过分。在许多公司里,抛开管理层的工程意图来看,一般工程最后都像熟食店的柜台一样,并不能如期望一般:一项为终端用户服务的优先级任务。 Clubhouse想要改变这一切。该公司产品于2016年初上市,目标是消除开发人员使用软件项目管理软件时的辛苦乏味,同时能够了解公司上层目标和发展里程碑。 日前,该公司完成1000万美元A轮融资,Battery Ventures领投,后者的Neeraj Agrawal也将入席Clubhouse董事会。 Clubhouse的所有目标都在于提高软件开发人员的工作效率。该软件绑定到Github中,使提交记录与票据匹配,这样开发人员就不必将其更改的详细信息输入到多个数据库中。该产品还提供了一个API,可以轻松地将其他工具绑定到开发工作流程中。 虽然这些功能摆脱了作为开发人员的一些苦差事,但真正使其与其他产品不同的,是它能够让开发人员了解到高层想法。 该产品内置了“里程碑”和“史诗目标”,工程团队的每个人都能看到关键功能和发布的当前状态。状态页面让开发人员了解其他团队成员正在做什么以及可能会妨碍他们。 令人惊讶的是——也是Battery对这家公司如此感兴趣的原因——现在已经有700多家公司在使用Clubhouse,然而这家创企却连个销售人员都没有。据悉,很多开发人员在跳槽后,都会向新公司推荐Clubhouse。对此,CEO Schrader表示,此次融资也将用于打造一支更专业的销售团队。 Clubhouse此前在两轮融资中获得400万美元,投资人包括Resolute Ventures、Lerer Hippeau Ventures、RRE、BoxGroup等等。原种子轮投资人也参加了这次融资。 【猎云网(微信号:ilieyun)】12月14日报道 (编译:可芮ccino)

    LinkedIn 发布2017美国新兴工作岗位报告 在美国,现在的就业市场充满了新的机会,新的工作机会对于求职者来说也意味着有了潜在可能性。 在未来的十年内,美国劳动统计局预测会创造出11.5百万个工作机会,甚至未来65%的孩子将从事着现在还不存在的工作岗位。 为了找出什么是更有前途的岗位和更能带来成功的技能,我们分析了LinkedIn过去5年间的数据,来寻找哪些岗位和技能处于上升趋势,并对这些趋势在未来的工作市场中代表了什么进行了分析。 从中我们发现了: 技术为王 软技能的必要性 高流动性的岗位处于上升趋势 有才能的人在顶尖岗位中供不应求 面向未来的技能非常重要 在过去的5年内,技术岗位的激增并没有使我们感到惊讶。十一月的劳动报告中指出,在硬件行业,招聘率增长了近10%,同时从去年10月起到现在,软件行业,招聘率增长了近15%。 以下为2017美国TOP 20新兴岗位排行榜: 更多详细信息欢迎点击链接查看原文: https://economicgraph.linkedin.com/research/LinkedIns-2017-US-Emerging-Jobs-Report     The explosion of tech roles over the past five years comes as no surprise given the impact of technology in every sector. Our November Workforce Report noted that hiring is up nearly 10% in the hardware industry, and nearly 15% in the software industry from October 2016. Specifically, the growth and widespread application of more sophisticated technology - like artificial intelligence - we are seeing more specialized machine learning and data-specific roles top the list of emerging jobs. These jobs are also widely available outside the technology industry. The number of customer experience roles that made the list indicates that the “age of the customer” was more than jargon. These jobs are among some of the non-automatable jobs on the market today, and the skills associated with them aren’t necessarily taught in university, as they rely heavily on soft skills. There can’t be emerging jobs without some jobs being replaced. When looking at the roles that are starting to lose steam in today’s professional landscape, two trend stands out: Comprehensive sets of skills that cover multiple disciplines are seemingly in higher demand. Many of the roles on this list cover multiple disciplines and are applicable to multiple industries. Certain specialist roles are on the decline. From specialized developer roles, to legal specialists, and even specialized logistics roles, we are seeing these roles be replaced in favor of more comprehensive skill sets and job titles. For example, Flash-related roles are on the decline as the technology loses steam in favor of more big data and machine learning roles. Software engineers are feeding into nearly all of these emerging jobs. We looked back at the career paths of professionals who hold these top 5 roles to get a sense for where they were in their careers 5 years ago, and what we found is encouraging for professionals no matter their career journey or the types of skills they have. In analyzing the career path of professionals who hold one of the top 5 emerging jobs, there was a common thread throughout: software engineers are feeding into all of the technology-related professions. Sales Development Representatives, while growing rapidly, is still an entry-level role and a great option for those looking to break into any industry. In fact, this is one of the most popular roles for recent graduates. Machine Learning Engineer 1. Software Engineer 2. Research Assistant 3. Teaching Assistant 4. Data Scientist 5. System Engineer Data Scientist 1. Research Assistant 2. Teaching Assistant 3. Software Engineer 4. Data Scientist 5. Business Analyst Sales Development Representative 1. Server 2. Sales Associate 3. Account Manager 4. Administrative Assistant 5. Customer Service Representative Customer Success Manager 1. Account Manager 2. Project Manager 3. Customer Service Representative 4. Program Manager 5. Sales Manager Big Data Developer 1. Software Engineer 2. Hadoop Developer 3. System Engineer 4. Java Engineer 5. ETL Developer Among these emerging jobs, some of them offer more mobility for those looking to explore new cities or industries, while others are more limited.Let’s take a look at the jobs that are widely available in cities across the country, but have fewer opportunities to pivot to a different industry… These Are the Jobs Available in Many Cities, But Few Industries Roles in the real estate, fitness, or retail space tend to be more widely distributed across U.S. regions. However, while these roles offer more options for location mobility, there are fewer options to pivot industries. Licensed Realtor Brand Partner Independent Travel Agent Brand Activation Manager Barre Instructor These Are the Jobs That Offer Industry Mobility, But Are Concentrated in the U.S.’s 10 Largest Metros These are jobs that are highly concentrated in the top 10 largest urban areas in the United States, but span across several industries. Many of the emerging roles in tech are concentrated in urban areas, like San Francisco, New York and Los Angeles. When looking at industry mobility among these emerging roles, many of them skew heavily towards the software and IT skill set, but provide opportunities across nearly every industry. Head of Partnerships Head of Customer Experience Data Scientist iOS App Developer User Experience Researcher Most Common Skills Among Emerging Jobs According to a recent survey conducted by LinkedIn and Capgemini, nearly 30% of professionals believe their skills will be redundant in the next 1-2 years, if they aren’t already, with another 38% stating they believe their skills will be outdated within the next 4-5 years. This feeling is largely driven by lack of access to adequate training to stay abreast of new - largely digital - skills that are necessary to be successful in today’s fast-paced jobs landscape. We looked at the skills that were most strongly represented among the top 20 emerging jobs. While many of these roles require specialized experience or an advanced degree, one thing remains constant: soft skills are important across the board. You’ll also notice these skills encompass a range of professions from marketing, to engineering, to sales, and it’s likely many possess at least one. Management Sales Communication Marketing Start-Ups Python Software Development Analytics Cloud Computing Retail We also took a look at the skills that were growing the fastest across these professions, and the same trend emerged: soft skills are represented across the board, as well as basic computer literacy. We noticed skills like social media, Microsoft Office, and digital marketing skills were on the rise across a number of these emerging jobs. Most Important Soft Skills (According to Hiring Managers) For those not interested in roles associated with the above skills - never fear, soft skills are an incredibly important part of being a fit for any role and more than 60% of hiring managers told us they had a hard time screening for them. We surveyed more than 1,200 hiring managers to find out what they’re looking for in a candidate when it comes to soft skills: Adaptability Culture Fit Collaboration Leadership Growth Potential Prioritization Learn more about how to prepare to talk about these skills in an interview, in this blog post. These Are the Top Skills for the Top 5 Emerging Jobs When looking more granularly at the skills most common among professionals in the top 5 emerging jobs, we’re able to get a clearer picture of the skills needed to be successful in these roles. Whether it’s understanding the ins and outs of enterprise software to help customers, or specialized engineering and programming skills - it’s clear that technology has become a part of nearly every role. The rise of customer success managers can likely be attributed to the explosion of Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) offerings, a theory that holds true when looking at the skills these professionals possess. Two of the top five skills for this role are related to enterprise and SaaS software know-how. If professionals don’t have the hard tech skills needed, or aren’t interested in pursuing a career in engineering or development, but want to work in the technology industry, pivoting to a more customer-centric role is a great way to get a foot in the door. Machine Learning Engineer             1. Machine Learning 2. Research 3. Algorithms 4. Software 5. Deep Learning Data Scientist             1. Data Science 2. Machine Learning 3. Analytics 4. Data Mining 5. Python         Sales Development Representative             1. Sales 2. Sales Management 3. Business Development 4. Account Planning 5. Start-Ups        Customer Success Manager             1. Management 2. Software as a Service 3. Enterprise Software 4. Sales 5. Customer Success Management        Big Data Developer             1. Big Data 2. Hadoop 3. Java 4. [Apache] Hive 5. Start-Ups Skills Trending On the Decline When analyzing the skills that are on the decline among these roles, a couple trends stood out. The increasing focus on digital skills and digital experiences, meaning skills like “shopper marketing” - that are traditionally focused on understanding shopping habits in physical stores - are on the decline. Additionally, as noted above, legacy technology skills associated with older technology systems like Java are also decreasing across the more technology-focused roles. Extremely saturated and general skills like “strategy” and “marketing” are being replaced by more specific skills associated with these professions, for example “integrated marketing.” Beyond emerging roles, we’re seeing a surge of freelance professionals in the United States, and they’re often choosing to pursue freelance work as a side hustle to a full-time job. So much so that in a recent survey of freelance professionals, a quarter of them told us their freelance work is in an entirely different professional field than their full-time career. In fact, the skills associated with one of our emerging jobs, Barre Instructor, indicates this is a freelance job on the side that U.S. professionals are embracing.However, this is often more than just a side hustle; in the same survey, nearly 20% of freelancers indicated they will make six figures or more this year with freelance work alone. What’s more, freelancers are driving more workforce growth than traditional 9-to-5ers. Where The Growth Is Happening Growth in the freelance sector is booming, especially for legacy industries including retail and healthcare, and oil and energy. Industry Sector Freelance 5-Year Growth Non-Freelance 5-Year Growth Healthcare 47% 20% Retail & Consumer Products 42% 5% Staffing 41% 30% Oil & Energy 39% 9% Professional Services 34% 15% The states where freelancers are seeing the most growth also might surprise you. The freelance population is growing quickly in the South and Midwest, but for now remains heavily concentrated on the coasts in New York, California, and Oregon. State Freelance 5-Year Growth Non-Freelance 5-Year Growth North Dakota 45% 24% Louisiana 44% 17% Mississippi 44% 16% District to Columbia 41% 17% West Virginia 40% 16% What This All Means It may come as no surprise that technology-centric roles stole the show among emerging jobs in the United States, but the prevalence of machine learning and data science roles and skills indicate a shift in the types of technology we can expect to be using in the near future, as well as what professionals should be preparing themselves for. Having an academic background and a comprehensive suite of skills were also strong trends, especially among professionals who are now machine learning engineers and data scientists. Both of these roles are also often held by professionals with 10 years or more of professional experience, so for those just starting out and having trouble landing one of these titles, don’t be discouraged! It’s always a good reminder that soft skills will always be important, no matter the profession. The ability to collaborate, be a leader, and learn from colleagues will stand out in interviews, and even more once starting a job. Methodology: The results of this analysis represent the world seen through the lens of LinkedIn data. As such, it is influenced by how members choose to use the site, which can vary based on professional, social, and regional culture, as well as overall site availability and accessibility. These variances were not accounted for in the analysis. We looked at all members who list dated work experience on their profile and grouped the millions of unique, user-inputted job titles based on common job roles (which have many permutations). For example, the “machine learning engineer” job title includes user inputted titles such as “machine learning software engineer” and “machine learning engineer II.” We then counted the frequencies of job titles that were held in 2012 and compared the results to job titles that were held in 2017. “Emerging jobs” refers to the job titles that saw the largest growth in frequency over that 5 year period. To determine common career paths, we looked at members who list a current position with one of the “emerging" job titles and counted the frequencies of job titles these members held in 2012. The availability of jobs by region and by industry are based on the company and location information of members who currently hold these job titles. 原文地址:https://economicgraph.linkedin.com/research/LinkedIns-2017-US-Emerging-Jobs-Report
