Despite the well-publicised tech lay-offs at the end of 2022 the market is still strong and demand for talent remains high.

However, we have seen several organisations reduce the number of opportunities, this tends to be driven by businesses decreasing the number of multiple opportunities and looking for the singular best available resource, simply following the adage of “quality over quantity”.

We are aware that some key businesses are restructuring resulting in temporary hiring freezes which clearly effect the total number of positions available in the market, but we expect this to even out as they move beyond this process.

Towards the end of July and the beginning of August, we noticed that job openings for permanent positions were on the rise again. Our early prediction is that by late summer there will be more free movement in the tech perm marketplace.
