This week Computer Weekly reported a continued surge in the UK
IT jobs market at the end of last year. This high demand reached a
six-month high for permanent employees and has caused a shortage in
some software development skills.
Research by KPMG and the Recruitment and Employment
Confederation (REC) identified skills shortages for temporary.
Net development and
Java development roles. As the skills shortage bites for .Net
and Java developers, many businesses will turn to software
outsourcing companies - like MSM Software - to plug the gap and
fill these specialist developer roles.
The private sector was largely responsible for this surge in
demand for IT jobs in December 2010. The impact of the
government cutbacks in the public sector remains to be seen.
However, outsourcing will no doubt continue to be a key strategy
for combating both surges in specialist IT skills and reducing IT
cost in the public sector.
