A new report from the Recruitment and Employment Confederation (REC) has indicated that there are more IT graduates than there are positions open to them.
The REC said this was good news for recruiters as they had a wealth of possible employees at their disposal, and importantly, these people have the skills needed to tackle emerging systems.
The REC, which represents the interests of recruiters, said "finding IT workers will be easier and allow faster placements by recruitment agencies". Key skills which have increased in demand over the past six months include those relating to SQL, C#, .NET and Linux, it added.
"It is encouraging to see this growth in demand. Our members are showing increasing confidence in the sector and many of them are looking to hire more recruiters as a result," said Jeff Brooks, chair of the REC's technology group.
"It is very encouraging to see that companies will still invest in technology to develop their businesses even when there is a tough economic landscape. I look forward to the upturn developing at an even stronger rate in the months ahead."
