Recruit IT - Remuneration

Market Overview

Our pick is that demand for IT resources in New Zealand will continue strongly for the remainder of 2010. We are seeing consistent demand for resources across all levels now as opposed to the pockets of demand we saw earlier this year.

Of most interest is the fact that Business Analysts and Architect vacancies are well up showing that there is plenty of scoping and analysis underway – ie: new projects kicking off! Recruit IT operates within the Auckland, Wellington and Christchurch markets and all areas have posted considerable gains in vacancy numbers.

We are seeing vacancies from a range of industry sectors too and across vendors, government, corporate and telecommunications clients. Contractor vacancy numbers are up by several hundred percent! We have not seen any significant upward movement in contract or permanent remuneration levels at this stage.
