IT Contractor demand drop to lowest in 26 months
A report from REC signals that contractors and employers may have been off during the holiday period, thus the demand decreasing.
According to Kevin Green, Chief executive, REC, the UK job market is “entering a new phase”. Kevin explains due to the shortage of talent, employment will still see a growth, but the growth will be at a slower pace compared to the past two years.
With the expected growth of the market and shortage of skills, contractors may see longer contracts and improved pay as employers will want to retain the contractors possessing skills that they are in need of.
