Instagram, the photo based social network launched in 2010, has really gained traction this year surging into the mainstream spotlight. Facebook made an offer to acquire Instagram in April 2012 and the deal was approved in August.
Hiring Demand for Instagram skills increased 5,000% compared to a year ago. Instagram skills had 510 job ads posted online in July. With over 80 million registered users and increasing popularity we expect hiring demand for Instagram skills to continue to rise for the remainder of this year.
