Market UpdateThe coming year will see the development and testing

sector driven by moves to newer and more advanced

technology, as skills such as Angular continue to grow in

popularity. The continued need for companies to become

cloud enabled is shifting the focus towards application

development and modernization with new software delivery

models, programming languages and development

methodologies. The continuing explosion of the ‘IoT” and

multi-device platforms is also driving a strong trend towards

mobile application development and open source software.

Cost is a major driver, as is agility, flexibility and speed to

deploy new applications, all of which are influencing market

trends. These industry moves will increase competition for

employers and inevitably, salaries.

In line with these trends there is demand for professionals

with AngularJS, Xamarin, mobile-first responsive

development, cloud computing and AWS skills. On the

soft skills side, cultural fit remains important as does

flexibility from candidates in terms of broader skillsets

and changing roles. Test Analysts are in demand across

the board, especially for digital projects within the media,

telecommunications and banking industries. In particular,

there is increased need for strong Automation Testers with

excellent communication skills

Candidates are in high demand and good candidates

are receiving multiple offers which has afforded them the

opportunity to pick and choose the type of role they want

in an unprecedented way. Employers in turn are adding

multiple technologies to the skill sets they require from

candidates. Roles have changed and clients are now

asking for full stack developers than just front-end or back-

end developers. Digital and Web Application Test Analysts

are also being taken off the market quickly and talent is

running short.

Salaries will continue to increase as skill shortages and

competition for good candidates increases, however this

isn’t sustainable and will plateau once the gap in the market

decreases across high-demand roles.

Employers are slow to react to the changing marketplace

and, as such, are losing out on candidates. As the

technology stack for companies continues to grow, so

does their need for candidates to have broader skillets of

varying technologies that candidates historically wouldn’t

paired together. This, combined with a general lack of

digital skills in the Australian market has led to significant

skills shortages and resulted in a candidate driven market.

Employers need to keep this in mind and move quickly

to secure the candidates they want by having a faster

recruitment process. Job seekers have also become a

lot more savvy when it comes to choosing their employer.

Hiring managers need to develop strong marketing

strategies for candidate attraction and retention, such as

opportunities for training, career growth and development,

broader opportunities for candidates to move across

the business and stay engaged, and a strong focus on

company culture and benefits.

On the job seeker side, employers are increasingly looking

for candidates with a demonstrated passion for technology

who are going to embrace and keep up with the fast-paced

evolution of their technology landscape. Keeping up-to-date

with new technologies is imperative and if you’re attending

meet-ups, writing code on GitHub, have built an app or

website, have a portfolio or have been building/learning/

playing with new technologies on the side, then showcase

this on your CV to stand out! On the testing side, we advise

job seekers to skill up in digital/web applications testing

where possible and develop strong business facing skills.
