OVERVIEW THERE ARE A LOT OF GOOD CANDIDATES CURRENTLY LOOKING TO MAKE A DIFFERENCE RATHER THAN CHASE THE DOLLAR. We have seen large growth in the health and education sector in the last 3-6 months there are a lot of good candidates currently looking to make a difference rather than chase the dollar, which has been the traditional view within technology. Contracting has been increasing month-on-month, down to a try before you buy mentality from employers and also the lengthy processes to get a permanent headcount approval. Technology professionals no longer want to work just for the big banks and the large Big Four consultancy firms we have seen some high profile executives leave banking and finance and go into not-for-profit. Women account for less than a fifth of the 460,000 strong IT workforce in Australia, so we are seeing more and more demand for senior female talent in IT, particularly leadership and project based roles such as project managers and business analysts. The job types in highest demand currently are: Project managers/programme managers/business analysts/pmo analysts/programme directors Infrastructure and service delivery to improve the service delivered to the business Cloud and business intelligence using the cloud can cut costs, but you have to bring people in to project manage and deliver it Industry developments spurring demand for these job types are mainly from a cloud perspective it s a more competitive space now and many options are now more affordable than previously, so people who are Amazon Web Services specialists, for example, can demand a higher salary due to a shortage of candidates in this area. In regards to executive recruitment, some organisations aren t replacing like for like anymore if a CIO resigns, a business will backfill with a head of IT, as opposed to a C level position to save costs, for maintenance rather than strategy and as a result there are a lot of candidates currently sitting within the executive IT space. 2 2015/16 AUSTRALIA LARY & EMPLOYMENT OUTLOOK
KEY INSIGHTS The states with the highest recruitment volumes are New South Wales and Victoria but there is some uncertainty in the market currently so employers are risk averse and hiring on fixed-term contracts to make sure they re 100% sure about the people they hire before making them part of their permanent headcount. When businesses start to expand their sales and marketing teams, that s normally a good sign for technology; we expect to see some growth in the next 6-12 months and overall confidence levels are good.

KEY INSIGHTS Salary increases are in line with previous years, at 3-5%, but some skill sets can demand more a common trend is for employers to include a completion bonus for fixed-term contracts to encourage people to stay. A key attraction and retention method is the potential exposure to working on exciting projects, however, contractors in technology still seek financial rewards above non-financial rewards.
