Supply tightening with remote working
The recruiter says that increased demand for IT talent is putting greater pressure on the supply of IT candidates, with candidates often receiving multiple job offers within weeks.This much higher demand for people with IT skills also means employees are often being aggressively recruited by companies in other geographical markets.Remote working and talent attraction
The recruiter further points out that companies who have not shifted to a remote-work environment have a much smaller talent pool to select from and are at a big disadvantage.Most IT candidates who worked remotely during the pandemic prefer to continue that way. Yet companies that offer 90% work-remote with 10% in the office still only have access to a smaller talent pool because candidates can mostly only look in their local geography.IT jobs most in demand (salary is US$)
