   A lot of tech companies put most of their hiring on hold until the end of year, and then Sept. 11 happened and people put it off [longer]," says Shawn Cashmark, manager at Unitek (www.unitek.com).
   
   Unitek, which focuses exclusively on technology placements, went from 100 employees in 2000 to 54 employees today, mostly through attrition and a handful of layoffs, Cashmark says.
   
   That tale is shared by others around the valley.
   
   Foxhunt Staffing Inc., ranked No. 8 on this year's list, placed 50 people in 2001, far below the 780 placements it made in 2000, when it hit No. 4 on the list.
   
   And Hall Kinion & Associates, a large, 11-year old technology-focused staffing company, has had to pare down as well.
   
   The San Jose company (www.hallkinion.com) ranked No. 5 on the list.
   ...
   Cashmark is also optimistic for the year ahead because Unitek has seen a slow and steady increase in business over the past few months. Just this week, Cashmark says the company took in four new requests from valley tech companies, a sign of good things.
   
   "Come 2003 things should be rocking and rolling," he says.
