IT, Digital & Transformation Recruitment update

IT & Digital Recruitment Market Update
We asked Natalie Parr from our IT & Digital recruitment team what she’s seeing in the NZ job market now.
IT & Digital hiring activity has settled into a steadier rhythm. Transformation programmes are back underway. Demand for contract talent has picked up again, particularly for Business Analysts, Project Managers and Change Managers, alongside a growing need for Data and AI specialists.
Top talent in IT, Digital & Transformation continues to be snapped up fast and is often in multiple interview processes at once.
If your hiring process isn’t moving quickly, you risk losing high-performing contractors to counteroffers.
For the full picture, our latest quarterly market update covers IT & Digital, Enterprise & Transformation, Accounting & Finance, Financial Services and Professional Services. Catch up here!
