IT recruitment 'remains strong'

Recruitment in the IT industry remains strong, with many people moving into new positions within the sector in the first half of 2010, a new survey has indicated.

A report published by the IT Job Board shows that the demand for roles such as IT manager and IT support worker have remained consistent in the first six months of the year, which is likely to boost the hopes of those in search of IT sales jobs.

Contract positions also continue to rise and currently account for 30 per cent of jobs advertised, said Alex Farrell, managing director of the website.

He explained that the greatest proportion of people working as contractors has been in the IT sector.

"Figures provide a strong indication of the state of the market. It's positive to see that the IT recruitment sector has remained steady since the beginning of the year, particularly during the current economic climate," Mr Farrell stated.

Meanwhile, Richard Nott, website director of CWJobs, recently explained that cloud computing is changing the face of the recruitment industry, with the majority of companies believing that the technology will lead to the creation of more IT sales jobs.

For both hardware and software sales jobs call an Aaron Wallis IT sales recruitment consultant. The Aaron Wallis IT sales recruitment service includes skills testing, personality questionnaires and 12 months rebate as standard.
