Recruitment trends suggest increased investment ahead
The demand for contract staff in the technology and communications sectors is set to increase, according to the latest research from specialist IT job board, CWJobs.co.uk.
The survey reveals that UK companies are looking to recruit proportionately more contractors than permanent staff during 2003, which is an indication that there could be increased investment in IT projects in the UK that contractors will be employed to deliver upon.
According to the CWJobs research, 47% of companies surveyed predict recruiting permanent staff and 63% anticipate recruiting IT contractors in 2003. In 2002, the bias was more in favour of permanent employees, with 57% of IT companies recruiting permanent ICT staff and 48% recruiting contractors.
Nigel Sterndale, User Experience Director of CWJobs.co.uk, commented: “Traditionally, IT contractors have been used to fill in and support a predominantly permanent workforce. Now companies appear to be increasing their reliance upon a more temporary workforce in order to fulfil short and medium terms IT projects,” commented.
"While this shows a degree of hope for the economy, it is clear that UK companies are not yet confident enough of the future to increase permanent headcount.”
