Job movement 'likely' in IT sector

A significant proportion of people are looking to switch roles in the IT sector, including moving to sales recruitment positions, in the next three months, new research shows.

According to data compiled by the IT Job Board for its Job Market Survey, 42 per cent of staff in the IT sector are actively seeking work, with 52 per cent keeping an eye on the IT jobs market.

The report shows that, by the end of the third quarter of this year, 35 per cent of permanent workers intended to move jobs, while 40 per cent of workers are considering a complete change of career.

Alexandra Farrell, managing director of the IT Job Board, commented: "The IT industry is a fluid one, and workers will look to move jobs in order to update or hone their skills. Ultimately, they want work that stretches them, and brings their skills bang up to date."

Recent research carried out by CWJobs shows that 80 per cent of professionals in the IT sector now believe that technology such as cloud computing and mobile systems are increasing demand for workers throughout the sector.
