Irish IT skills shortage
Sunday Business post article
People with the right IT skills are getting pay rises, bonuses,
perks and other boom-era incentives in Irish companies.
‘‘There is an appalling shortage of certain skillsets in IT at the
moment," said Hugh McCarthy, a consultant with Brightwater Recruitment.
‘‘It is quite shocking in the current climate. We are dealing with
companies from large multinationals to small indigenous software
companies which are really struggling to get competent staff."
The proof of this is being reflected in IT salaries. Some IT
programmers are currently getting pay increases of up to €30,000 a
year, say IT recruiters. Many more are being offered boom-era perks,
such as longer holidays and more say over their working time and job
structure.
