- Due to the pandemic and elements of Brexit, we find a distinct lack of IT people across the spectrum of skills – moving into the final quarter of 2021. Biggest movers, in terms of salary increase, seem to be infrastructure engineers of varying levels and full stack development.
- .Net continues it’s upward trend with .Net Core skills in high demand
- IT engineering skills – especially 2nd and 3rd Line engineers are highly sought after with salaries increasing incredibly quickly this year.
- Entry level developers continue to be in demand as organisations look to the stars of the future; as opposed to predominantly focusing on highly skilled developers.
- Attraction will be key moving through the autumn and Q4 of 2021. Autumn tends to be a busy period for IT Recruitment, as people look for that new role before the years out and the summers over but also projects kick on before the Christmas break.
- We expect a surge of hiring to take place between October 2021 and March 2022 largely as the vaccine continues to deliver normality and reduced restrictions continue.
- Private sector IT Salaries continue to rise ahead of inflation / cost of living.
