REC Technology Group highlights opportunities for high-end recruiters
February’s Report on Jobs confirmed an improving outlook for the technology sector and has shone the media spotlight on the role of specialised recruiters at the high-end of the jobs market.
In last Thursday's edition of the London Evening Standard, Jeff Brooks, Chair of the REC Technology sector group, emphasised the fact that that big corporations are again investing in their IT which is being reflected in increased recruitment activity.
On the same day, the Daily Mail focussed on IT job opportunities within different sectors. Les Berridge and Dave Pye, both members of the REC Technology Group Executive, provided specific examples of vacancies now available in finance, manufacturing and the public sector.
Commenting on the latest trends and media interest, Chris Richards, Policy Executive of the REC Technology Group says:
“There are some positive signs in terms of increasing demand for staff and the recent press stories may help to further boost employer confidence. The national media coverage shows that there is a real desire to hear from specialised recruiters who can provide the latest feedback from the front line of the technology jobs market.
"There is also increasing interest in the type of skills that we will need in the future which is another area for recruiters at the high-end of the jobs market to feed into.”
The REC's Technology Group will continue to be a key commentator in national, regional and sectoral press. The industry’s voice in this sector will be further enhanced through forthcoming research on future Skills Needs and by working with key stakeholders such as the Professional Contractors Group and Intellect.The REC represents over 3500 members, and represents agencies at the high-end of the jobs market through specialist sector groups such as Technology, Accounting and Financial Services, Engineering & Technical, Interim Management Association, Association of Executive Recruiters and others.
