Jobs in demand
Since March, we have seen a spike in the
demand for network engineering jobs,
which have increased by 22%. Architecture
requirements also grew by 15%, as did
telecommunication jobs by 12%, and product
management and development roles by
5%.2 Recruiters across the industry have also
reported increased demand for cyber security, customer experience, responsive web development, digital strategy, cloud, big data,
and data analytics positions.3
There are some synergies between the top
three jobs viewed by candidates4 and the top
three jobs advertised5 (Chart 1.1), however
the increased demand for network roles,
particularly in the cyber security and cloud
space may begin to skew equilibrium.

Job locationsAlthough the number of ICT jobs in South
Australia grew by 8% in Q3, approximately 60%
of ICT positions are still located in Sydney and
Melbourne (Chart 1.2).6

Permanent vs contractor roles filled Q3 2016
According to ITCRA, 90.4% of ICT roles
placed in Q3 were contract roles, and a mere
9.6% of roles placed were permanent7 (Chart
1.3). This is mainly due to the increase in
demand for project based professionals. We
may however see a shift in numbers over
2017, as permanent digital roles become
more prevalent in the market.

Skills in demand
There is an increasing demand for ICT workers
with more general skills such as relationship
management, customer service, strategic
planning and contract negotiation, reflecting
the increased integration of ICT with core
business functions.8
The importance of demonstrating both
technical and business skills when
interviewing for a role is of increasing
importance, with a recent study showing 63%
of hiring managers had more difficulty finding
candidates with business skills compared to
technical skills.9

Areas of growth
ICT management, operations, technical and
professional workers are set for the strongest
job growth over the next few years,10 with the
largest number of new jobs expected to be in
telecommunications services. The rise of new
disruptive technologies and the uncertain
economic climate however, may see a shift in
skill demand. Existing technologies will see
increased use across a number of sectors,
while key emerging technologies (Chart 1.4)
are set to create a new wave of skill demand.11

Women in tech
Gender diversity continues to be a challenge
in the ICT industry. Across Australia, only
28% of ICT jobs are held by women - this
is slightly higher than the rest of the globe,
where women account for less than 25% of
ICT workers.12 The lack of women in the ICT
industry poses both social and economic
issues, with one study reporting that global
costs due to lack of diversity may be in the
tens of billions of dollars.13
Industry associations such as Females
in Information Technology and
Telecommunications (FITT) have helped
advocate gender diversity in the industry,
however the percentage of women in IT roles
is not expected to grow in the near future.
