Are both permanent and contractor IT jobs available? 

Yes – with the size and scale of digital transformation projects occurring at most enterprises, across the public and private sectors, and a huge range of start-ups and scale-up looking to take their product to market and secure more investment, there are a huge number of exciting opportunities for permanent tech employees and contractors alike.
 
So, whatever your skillset, experience and ambitions, now is a great time to look ahead to the next stage of your career. 

What are the most important skills for an IT professional to have? 

You will need technical skills and understanding specific to your discipline. Degrees or qualifications in a relevant area of computer science are beneficial. However, demonstrable experience can be just as, if not more, important than any qualifications.
 
As an overall, universal rule, you’ll need a strong understanding of emerging technologies, excellent communications skills, as well as a thirst for knowledge and a passion for continuous development and learning.

Who’s hiring IT professionals? 

In a nutshell, everyone. Technology is so integral to maintaining a successful business today, and it’s evolving so rapidly that employers are constantly on the lookout for professionals who can help them realise their ambitions. That’s why there is huge demand in both private and public sectors, smaller start-ups and scale-ups and large multinationals, for professionals with skills like yours.
