IT Monitor / Computer People Page 2 of 7 IT Monitor Permanent vacancies remain steady as Q1 progresses Permanent Contract Vacancies % Change Vacancies % Change Number of vacancies: all sectors 13,050 0.20% 5,722 0.19% Overall, advertised permanent vacancies increased this month, with a rise of 0.20% compared to this time last year. While the economy seems uncertain, the IT jobs market appears to have a more clearly aligned strategy, one aligned to innovation and development. Encouragingly, these increases in demand for permanent IT professionals means that shelved projects are being revived. Contractor vacancies increased in March by 0.19%, signalling that the IT contract market is still buoyant, despite many projects nearing closure at the end of the year and leading up to the Olympics. Sector breakdown Permanent Contract (per hour) Number of vacancies: major sector Vacancies % Change Vacancies % Change Banking, insurance and finance 1,473 -3.60% 740 -4.15% Retail 678 -1.88% 83 6.41% Telecoms 463 -9.92% 77 -18.95% Media, new media and creative 445 2.25% 175 15.13% Public Sector 176 6.67% 198 2.06% Banking, insurance and finance With a decrease of 3.60% for permanent roles and 4.15% in contractor vacancies, the banking, insurance and financial sector experienced a slow down in March. This decline was to be expected as we approached the end of the financial year and contracts and projects come to a close. We are therefore likely to see increased headcount at the beginning of the financial year, as budgets are approved for the year ahead. This is a typical recruitment pattern for the banking, insurance and finance sector as these sectors traditionally tend to staff up at the commencement of the financial year. www.computerpeople.co.uk
IT Monitor / Computer People Page 3 of 7 IT Monitor Retail The retail sector experienced an increase in contractor vacancies at 6.41% in the month of March, in line with the end of the financial year. However, there was a slight dip in permanent vacancies at 1.88% showing a mixed month of activity for the sector. As London 2012 approaches, its hoped that the Games will have a positive impact on the economy longer term, which could spell job creation in the IT industry long after the Games. Telecoms The telecoms industry saw a noticeable slowdown in March in both permanent and contractor vacancies at -9.92% and -18.95% respectively. Over the past few months we saw steep inclines in the recruitment of IT professionals in the telecommunications sector. The current declines could be attributed to the early completion of projects including upgrades in London to 4G connection from 3G, which will leave a lull in vacancys compared to previous months. Media, new media and creative Media, new media and creative continued to experience a positive month in vacancies with permanent roles increasing by 2.25% and contractor roles increasing by 15.13%. This industry along with the finance industry is the first to hire and therefore we are hoping that this has a ripple effect on the market as a whole going forward. Public sector It continues to be good news for the public sector as March shows an increase in the number of permanent vacancies (up 6.67%) and contractor vacancies (up by 2.06%) these increases seen for a two month period seem to be a turning trend. Monthly salary trends Permanent salaries rose by 0.07% in March this represents a steadying in salaries for IT professionals as we approach the summer months. Contract salaries increased at a higher margin than permanent this month, with a 0.59% rise. Contractors are in a good position at present as employers are willing to pay higher rates to ensure that projects are delivered on time in preparation for London 2012. Permanent Contract Vacancies % Change Vacancies % Change % change to salary and contract rates 0.07% 4.19% 0.59% 4.03% Compared to the salaries of 2011, 2012 has been a steady year thus far for IT professionals. We are continuing to see demand for contractors however we are more likely to see salaries steady as projects come to and end as does the financial year. www.computerpeople.co.uk
IT Monitor / Computer People Page 4 of 7 IT Monitor Oracle experienced the greatest increase in permanent salaries this month with a 0.09% rise, while the biggest decline was recorded at 0.10% in Java. Contractor rates continue to increase for interim IT directors (up 3.80%) which are a clear nod to the number of change management projects going live. There are also a large number of interim CIO roles requiring CIOs to make quick turn around in efficiency and effectiveness savings within organisation, this added pressure and short-term target setting justifies the increase month-on-month. Oracle, .Net/C# and SAP contractor roles continue to see increases in salaries, largely due to the number of integration projects that are currently underway.

IT Monitor / Computer People Page 7 of 7 IT Monitor Wrap up As vacancies continue to rise month-on-month, permanent salaries steady, and contractor pay increases the IT recruitment sector continues to gain momentum. With the close of the financial year all eyes are set on what the market reaction will be to the 2012 Olympic Games. More importantly what pressures the economy slipping into a technical recession and the threat of the Eurozone collapse will have on IT recruitment. All signs are pointing to an uncertain few months. While the Olympics will bring short-term excitement to the market, the increased holiday days for the Queens Jubilee, the interruption on work patterns caused by the Olympics and the rocky economy could mean businesses act more cautiously when recruiting in the latter part of the year.
