Great Things We Can Do For You!

During my time as an IT recruiter I have been successful in both boom and recessive times and it is easy for me to say the job has been a lot easier in past years when job boards and online advertising were all the rage and recruiters were paid for posting an online advert, short listing the best candidates and managing the recruitment process. How things have changed!

The rebounding economy is increasing the demand for talent at all levels within the world of IT particularly in core development areas such as C#, .NET, Java and SQL. In vogue is the science of recruiting, technology and all things social media. Technology and the internet can help find potential candidates but you need an experienced recruiter to evaluate, recruit and secure top talent.

Relationship recruiting expertise is needed now: Direct sourcing. Referral-based networking. Engaging potential candidates. Identifying, evaluating and motivating scarce talent. This takes experience and know-how. This is the art of recruiting.

IT vacancies rise in Q3 2010 - is now the time to hire?

Last month Computer Weekly published an article IT vacancies rise in Q3 2010 - is now the time to hire?

The article highlights the fact that even though we are barely out of a recession the demand for talented IT technologists in particular development skills such as C#, .NET, Java and SQL are in high demand and short supply across the UK. A situation which is going to become ever more apparent as the sluggish economy picks up and spending and investment increases.

So is now the best time to recruit? Yes, IT salaries are still suppressed due to recessive forces a situation which is bound to change as we slowly move away from recession. As we enter 2011 and head to 2012 demand will increase for C#. .NET, Java and SQL skills but will the supply? Very unlikely!

Therefore simple supply and demand dictates salaries of IT Technologists with C#, .NET, Java and SQL skills will only receive upwards pressure as demand for these skills increases sowhy not act now and secure the talented development professionals you need to help your business grow and meet your project needs.
