Market Update

The digital transformations underway in a range

of industries continue to drive demand for the

development and testing sector. This is especially

true as it moves to new tech such as Angular, and in

languages such as Swift at the enterprise level.

Not only is the application of cloud development

driving more testing, but also the “internet of

things” is driving a strong trend towards mobile app

development. Skills in demand include:

• AngularJS

• Xamarin

• Mobile-first responsive development

• Cloud computing

• AWS

Additionally, cultural fit and other soft skills

are increasingly important as IT needs reflect

the business needs as a whole and the list of

stakeholders involved in digital transformation

projects grows wider. The ability to understand the

nature of a role in relation to the overall business itself

is becoming even more important, and translating “IT

speak” for stakeholders in a range of positions while

articulating business value are crucial skills.

Test analysts are still in demand, particularly in the

media, telecommunications and banking industries.

There is also a growing need for Automation Testers

with good communication skills. Employers are

adding multiple technologies to the skillsets they

require, and are often asking for full-stack developers

rather than just front-end or back-end specialisations.

Digital and web application test analysts are being

snapped up. Demand is high and salaries will

continue to reflect this. However, time is limited and

wages will plateau when market demand decreases

across a number of high-profile roles.

For job seekers, it’s crucial to continue developing

skills across a wider range of technologies. Being

a full-stack developer will provide an advantage

over those who specialise in one particular area.

Employers are increasingly looking for candidates

with a demonstrated passion for technology and

motivation to embrace and keep up with the fast-

paced evolution of their technology landscape.

Employers need to work quickly to find candidates

as they are snapped up fast. Hiring managers need

to develop strong marketing strategies for candidate

attraction and retention, such as opportunities for

training, career growth and development, and a

strong focus on company culture and benefits.
