And slide-show from #20 to #1
While bubble jitters are now prompting some tech companies to slow or stall hiring, 2015 was a blockbuster year for San Francisco’s tech talent market.
The city’s 100 largest tech employers added almost 47,000 total jobs in the last year, with established players and startups alike bulking up their payrolls.
As its new Mission Bay headquarters take shape, Uber Technologies is approaching 2,000 employees in San Francisco. The company has more than doubled its San Francisco headcount and is the city’s fastest-hiring tech employer in terms of raw number of workers added in the last year.
It’s also one of the fastest-growing tech employers in percentage terms, with its headcount up 183 percent in the last year. Uber also has plans to eventually have as many as 3,000 corporate employees in downtown Oakland.
