 Yes, it is getting hawt in here.

We've got the scoop on the new survey of 642 recruitment professionals conducted by Talent2, an Australian human resource firm.

They've identified the 10 hottest jobs of 2008 and the salary range that goes with them.

1 Learning and Development Managers ($80-$160k)
2. Tax Accountants ($120-$140k)
3. Financial Controllers ($150k to $180k)
4. Internal Communications Managers ($100 - $200k)
5. Corporate Social Responsibility Managers ($120 - $180k)
6. FMCG Brand Managers ($100k to $135k)
7. Solutions Architects ($160-$200k)
8. Engineers – all types up to $300k
9. Security Managers (IT) ($150-$250k)
10. Marketing Campaign Managers ($80k to $100k)
Why are salaries so high? The reasons in Australia mimick conditions seen in countries like Canada, the US and the UK.
“The massive skills shortage in Australia is causing employers to seek out more lateral solutions like sourcing workers from overseas, outsourcing or hiring contract staff or alternate strategies like golden handcuffs, talent pooling or retention schemes for high performing personnel," says Talent2 Practise Manager, Neil Galvin.  “The pressure on salaries will be enormous this coming year as the shortage of skilled employees escalates. Organisations will need to be more creative about retention strategies. "
