"IT directors must offer full-time job perks not seen since the downturn if they are to stem the tide of technology staff ‘making the jump’ into freelance contracting.
Sweeteners to work as an IT employee are needed now more than ever because mission critical projects are losing key staff to the contract market."
“With unemployment among IT workers at just 2.7 per cent (5.2 per cent nationally) organisations are once again aggressively poaching key staff from competitors.
“To combat this, organisations now need to consider reintroducing some of the perks and benefits enjoyed by IT staff six years ago before the downturn struck.”
Yet in a statement, ReThink Recruitment summed up the current climate.
“The IT job market is becoming increasingly candidate-driven and there is a definite movement of skills into the freelance market,” it said.
“About 25 per cent of all IT workers are now contractors, compared to around 20 per cent a year ago, and the trend is continuing in that direction.”
So the good old times are back again?
