IT contractors 'should look to banking sector'
IT contractors may want to focus on the banking sector when looking for job opportunities in the next few months.
The Contingent Workforce Rate Card from Alexander Mann Solutions has revealed that the financial services market is to see a 2.8 per cent rise in the recruitment rate.
This is one of the strongest performing areas of the jobs market as a whole, and one that IT contractors should seek to take advantage of.
Overall the report suggests that recruitment is beginning to find its feet after a series of turbulent quarters, according to Matthew Rodger, director of contingent workforce solutions at Alexander Mann Solutions.
"This is clearly good news for flexible workers and, while some elements of the market are still unpredictable, the indications are that this will mark the start of a more stable period for contingent workforce recruitment," he added.
Recruitment & Employment Confederation chief executive Kevin Green recently claimed that the UK jobs market is likely to remain flat for the next quarter.
