UK employment outlook 'is optimistic'
IT contractors should be optimistic for the future as the recruitment picture looks bright, it has been claimed.
According to the job site Career Builder, the employment market as a whole is feeling more optimistic, with higher levels of activity at the moment than has been seen in recent years.
The group's EMEA (Europe, Middle East and Africa) president Tony Roy explained that the technology sector is one area that could see a particular boom - which is good news for IT contractors.
He revealed: "Mobile technology is seeing quite a boom, particularly with the use of smartphones becoming more prevalent.
"Companies today who are making a hire are looking to do so in the areas of technology, sales, engineering, all those places that help drive innovation."
CareerBuilder's own research recently found that 73 per cent of UK businesses describe their organisation's financial performance as steady or growing, with 28 per cent reporting a decline.
