Rates for contractors are set to take off as 2011 progresses, says Tom Derbyshire, IT division manager at recruitment firm Robert Walters.
Echoing the views of other recruitment firms, global recruiter Robert Walters’ third-quarter employment market update for New Zealand notes that the improving economy is leading to greater opportunities and candidate churn in most sectors, including IT.
There are no signs of a let-up in the skills shortage so far this year, says Steve Gillingwater, associate director of the IT division at recruitment firm Robert Walters.
