IT professionals are experiencing high demand with latest data showing hiring levels in the first half of the year were 91% of 2020’s total.
According to new research compiled by the Association of Professional Staffing Companies (APSCo) using data provided by Vacancysoft, hybrid working is driving the demand for IT professionals as the country continues to open up.
Many employers have wanted to ensure that they had their hybrid working models in place and operational once the working from home rule was dropped on ‘Freedom Day’.
Professional IT vacancies were mostly reported in the technology arena (43.2%) and in banking (12.4%).

Email JaimeAnn Swain, CEO of APSCo commented on the findings, “The fact that IT vacancies continue to perform so well is incredibly encouraging and reflective of not only the huge reliance on remote working, but also employers’ reliance on these experts to facilitate and implement hybrid working models as Freedom Day approached in June.
“As the country continues to open up and recover from the pandemic we don’t expect any let up in demand for IT talent as hybrid working practices look set to be a firm part of our future.”
