About the Surveys

Jobseeker Survey

These survey results are recognised throughout

the Australian IT industry as an accurate

representation of the industry and a market

leading source of quality insights and opinions.

All survey responses, comments and insights

have been consolidated for this Australian IT

Recruitment Market Insights and Salary Guide

2014-2015.

The survey was carried out during May 2014, and

distributed in the form of an online questionnaire.

Hiring Manager Survey

In addition to our jobseeker survey, Greythorn

annually survey our IT Hiring Managers to

produce the Greythorn Technology Market

Landscape. Our 2014 Hiring Manager survey

generated 1106 results and some of these

findings have also been used in this Market

Insights and Salary Guide report.

I am delighted to provide you with the Greythorn Australia IT Recruitment Market Insights and Salary Guide for 2014-2015.

The research collates the opinions and views of almost 3000 Greythorn candidates and contractors who responded to our yearly online survey. I am confident the trends and conclusions included in our report will be valuable to hiring organisations looking to navigate the job seeker markets more confidently, as well as candidates who want to be empowered with relevant data about their own field of specialisation.

As with last year, the current job market is very mobile; 92% of candidates indicated they are either actively looking for work or keeping an eye on the market. Job security however is at an all time low, and candidates remain concerned about outsourcing, particularly in the finance sector.

The IT industry is evolving at a rapid pace, with innovation across digital creating job titles that were not in existence 5 years ago. Cloud computing, mobility solutions, big data and the associated security issues are also key trends that are creating numerous opportunities and challenges for the industry.

I cordially invite you to peruse our research. Please remember also that we have the tools to further break down the information in order to make it highly relevant for your particular profession or sector. In that sense, do not hesitate to contact us should you need more details.

Managing Director, Greythorn

Demographics

Surprisingly only 6% of respondents were

under 30, in 2011 this figure was 18%. Is

the IT industry attracting enough new talent?

Results from Greythorn’s Hiring Manager survey

in January showed that 36% believed there

would be skills shortages in IT in 2014. This

is a growing concern; one third of candidates

also stated that they did not believe there were

enough IT graduates in Australia to satisfy

industry needs.

Similarly, this year the ratio of males to females

was the lowest it has been in 4 years - in 2011

the breakdown was 78% male to 22% female.

Why are women not attracted to this industry?

Our own research shows that long hours, lack

of flexibility and unconscious bias from already

male-dominated IT teams are all contributing

factors.

The Victorian Government has recently

announced they are creating a Victorian ICT

Workforce Development Plan aimed at 3 key

areas: increasing awareness and overcoming

misconceptions of IT careers; enhancing the

contribution IT offers to business; and better

alignment of business and IT qualifications. Part

of this plan is to also address the lack of women

in IT by hosting events such as: Vic ICT for

Women to deliver Go Girl Go for IT, and attract

more graduates through ICT career and course

awareness activities targeting students and

influencers.

Greythorn received responses from a broad

range of industries and job types.

The top job types are project based positions

- Project Managers and Business Analysts

followed by senior IT leaders, managers

and CIO’s. It would seem project based IT

recruitment remains as in demand as last year.

The majority of responses came from the

Commerce industry, however there was still

significant representation from Government/

NFP (673 respondents) and Finance (375

respondents).

Permanent and Fixed Term Contract job types

hold the majority of respondents, apart from

in the Government sector where the split was

almost 50:50.

Respondents were from a broad cross section of job types and industries.

Optimistic

Indifferent

Pessimistic

Candidates remain on the fence when it comes

to market conditions with an almost exact split

for team growth (28%) and team decline (25%).

When analysing results by industry, 30%

of IT staff working in finance expected an

increase in team size, compared to only 21%

in Government and 29% of Government

respondents were expecting a decrease. Given

the timing of this survey was just prior to the

Federal Budget announcements, it would

appear that Government candidates suspected

a department shake up.

Our Hiring Manager survey was more positive

- 36% expected to hire additional staff and a

further 43% expected to replace leavers.

Level of optimism/pessimism in the market was

also evenly distributed. Of interest, however, was

that the level of optimism in 2014 is significantly

lower than 2013 (35% vs 43% respectively).

Again, perhaps due to the Federal Budget

announcements and suspected budget cuts.

Federal budget cuts cause concern for IT candidates.

There has been a significant shift in job security

over the past 4 years. Candidates are now more

insecure than ever in their current role (34% in

2014 versus 11% in 2011). This was particularly

evident in the Government sector with 42%

of respondents feeling insecure. Again, this

would appear to have a direct correlation to the

proposed Federal Government agency reshuffle.

A huge 92% of candidates are either actively

looking for a new role or keeping an eye on the

market. When Hiring Managers were asked

how many of their IT staff they believed were

looking to move, the response was a mere 20%.

This illustrates a significant disparity between

perception by Hiring Managers and the reality

from job seekers. Employers would do well to

address this issue if they are to retain their staff.

Over two thirds of staff would recommend their

current employer to a friend, which remains on

par with previous years.

Asked why candidates stay with their current

employer, the key retention factor was salary.

However, the main reason people left their last

role was for career development and a new

challenge. Whilst good remuneration will keep

an employee for so long, the lure of climbing the

ladder will still be enough incentive to leave.

Further, only 38% stated that there were career

development opportunties available to them in

their current role.

Following this, just 31% of respondents stated

they are very engaged and satisfied in their

current role, a further 51% said fairly and 18%

said no. The challenge for employers is how to

engage and thereby retain their top staff. Whilst

monetary rewards are keeping them at their job,

it would appear it is not keeping them engaged.

Richard Fischer commented: “Staff engagement

and retention can be enhanced by providing

clear communication on strategic direction

to address job security as well as developing

employee’s careers and how they can be moved

to a position where they can up skill. Addressing

clarity on the future as well as talking to them

about career development and when this may

be provided, is key”.

Flexible working arrangements, and convenient

location also featured high on the list.

Career development still the key driver to move jobs.

Unsurprisingly, cloud computing is still ranked as

the most valuable skill set in 2014, mirroring last

year’s results. Mobility solutions and business

intelligence also remain unchanged. With the

technology world evolving at a rapid pace, big

data and security issues feature high on the list.

We predict this will continue to climb.

Hiring Managers echoed these with 4 of the 6

top skill sets being the same.

Candidates were also asked which skills or

technologies they believed were no longer in

demand. Given the emergence of cloud, it is

unsurprising that mainframe and programmers

are on this list.

It is likely candidates with these skill sets

will trade off salary for career development

opportunities and be re-skilled in new areas.

This is a good opportunity for employers to

access a motivated workforce by re-skilling

existing IT employees.

Security, Cloud, BI and mobility solutions are the key skills for 2014.

Remuneration remains static for most

candidates over the past 12 months with 44%

stating they have not had a pay increase. This

figure was echoed in the Commerce industry,

however in Government and Finance things

were slightly better with 59% and 60% receiving

a rise of some kind.

Contractor rates are expected to rise slightly

for 28% of respondents, however, half believed

they will remain static. Our own research on

rates would show that they have remained static

in most areas with some pockets showing an

increase ie. specific niche and industry skill

sets, compliance based technologies, IT sales,

Sitecore CMS Developers and ASP.Net MVC.

Half of respondents were not entitled to a

bonus this year – these figures remain virtually

unchanged from 2013.

Remuneration has remained flat across most skill sets.

There is an imbalance between the expectation of IT workers compared with the market trend of flat or in some cases moderately declining IT rates/salaries. This is a key issue in setting expectations on hiring new recruits.

Flexible working is perceived as the most

important benefit in 2014 however only 47%

of respondents currently have access to this in

their jobs. This figure has improved significantly

on last year, however, when only 38% of

respondents were entitled to flexibility.

Given Mobile and Cloud technologies which

allow greater remote access, it is surprising

more Australian businesses are not offering this

benefit.

When asked which flexible working scenarios

were most in demand the majority answered

working from home and flexitime working hours.

Similarly training was ranked as the number 2

most important benefit, however was only given

to 25% of respondents.

Employers who are offering training as part

of their employment value proposition should

be promoting this at the beginning of the

recruitment process as they are more likely to

attract top talent.

Flexible working more popular than ever!

In line with industry wide trends, IT workers at all levels are seeking flexible working arrangements as a core part of their employment.

Despite training ranking as a very important

26% have not had any at all, and a further

35% have not had any in the past 2 years. This

is disappointing and given that we know job

seekers leave roles for career development,

illustrates a missed opportunity for employers

seeking to develop and retain their own staff.

Job seekers are, however, self-funding their own

study illustrating the importance this has for

them. Candidates understand the importance of

keeping their skills up-to-date in today’s evolving

technology climate, as noted on previous pages.

Fifty eight percent of respondents feel they

need to increase their non IT skills to further

their career. This number is rising every year by

approximately 5%. Hiring Managers’ feedback

also stated that those IT professionals who

develop skills like business acumen and

negotiation will put themselves at an advantage

in this competitive labour market.

Training opportunities lacking for many IT candidates.

Following 2 years of cost containment by many corporate organisations, IT workers are feeling concerned about the limited level of up-skilling they are being provided in their current role. IT workers are now seeing up-skilling as their own responsibility, rather than that of their employers.

“Don’t let process get in the way” is the key

message to employers. A significant 71%

of respondents have lost interest in a role

because the recruitment process took too

long. Companies are at risk of losing quality

candidates to a competitor, perhaps due to

hesitation or red tape. Speed to hire is one of

the cheapest competitive advantages in the

recruitment market.

A good on-boarding and induction process is

key to ensuring candidates hit the floor running,

and reduce early turnover. Unfortunately a huge

41% of respondents stated that this was either

non-existent or inadequate at their company.

By comparison, only 30% of Hiring Managers

felt this was the case, with 70% believing it was

adequate or comprehensive, again a significant

disparity between manager and staff perception.

Companies are at risk of losing key talent due to poor internal processes.

The fear of outsourcing has leapt from 20% to

30% this year. One third of candidates would

consider taking a pay cut to save their job being

outsourced, could this be an opportunity for

employers to keep jobs in Australia? Of those

30% who fear their job may be outsourced, half

would take a pay cut.

IT professionals working in the finance sector

are particularly concerned with 33% stating they

fear their role will be outsourced.

In addition to the fear of losing a job through

outsourcing, candidates also feel threatened

by the number of skilled IT workers entering

Australia. Despite this, it would appear some

immigration is necessary to address the skills

shortages faced in some areas and the lack of IT

graduates coming through university programs.

The fear of outsourcing is back on the agenda this year.

Over half of respondents are now considering

a move internationally. This is up from 36% in

2013 and illustrates the risk of brain drain to the

Australian IT industry which is already facing a

potential crisis in skills shortages in the coming

years. The UK is still seen as the number one

destination, followed closely behind by North

America. With the UK economy now recovering,

and candidates in Australia voicing concern

about job security and market optimism, this is

now a very attractive opportunity.

Despite the high level of insecurity felt by IT

candidates in the Government sector, 61% of

those in the ACT would stay in the IT industry

for the remainder of their careers. Under half of

those in Queensland would, however, stay in IT.

Over half of IT candidates prepared to move abroad.

Brisbane Summary

The mining boom that has underpinned Queensland’s finances for more than a decade has continued to descend from its peak. This has included a continuing decline in mining investment such as coal mining and slower developments in Queensland’s gas industry.

Coinciding with the decline in mining has been the lower Australian dollar and also lower interest rates. These are two positives for Queenslanders and this has sparked an increase in construction projects particularly in private housing.

Whilst Australia’s unemployment rate in February 2014 was 6.0%, Queensland saw a rise in unemployment in the same month from 5.9% to 6.1%. This coincided with a drop in the participation rate from 65.2% to 64.5%. This drop in participation could reflect on both Queensland’s aging population as well as the rise in unemployment.

Queensland is working towards a four pillar economy which focuses on the growth of jobs in the industries of tourism, agriculture, resources and construction.

Commentary relating to these four pillars was highlighted in the December 2013 Deloitte Access Economics Business Outlook¹ report. The report estimated Queensland’s economy will grow at 3.6 per cent this financial year and next. This places Queensland in a strong position in comparison to other states. The report forecasts that Queensland will have the fastest growing retail turnover of all Australian states both this financial year and in 2014-15.

The report also suggested an improved environment for the construction industry with strong growth in the housing sector from 2016. Gas projects, centred on

Gladstone, will help Queensland ride out the problems in 2014-2015 and will ensure ongoing growth with in the resources pillar. The IT recruitment market has remained strong in Queensland. There has been ongoing demand for skilled project managers, business analysts, digital design and development specialists, solution architects, functional consultants and IT leadership. The skills being sought have mostly been sourced within Queensland or more broadly across Australia. Interstate candidates have been open to hearing about opportunities in Queensland, although it has become more difficult to encourage candidates to depart projects that are Sydney or Melbourne based to relocate to Brisbane. This is usually because of discrepancies in pay but more importantly concerns about future project opportunities.

The digital market remains strong both within corporate and Government and this has resulted in the funding of strategic digital professionals to ensure the continuing growth of engagement and brand.

There has continued to be a decline in the number of graduate IT opportunities. Whilst larger organisations are still employing graduates, the number being employed in Queensland has decreased. This will lead to increased IT skill shortages in Queensland in the foreseeable future.
