The future is in Technology and digital. Last year's survey across Australia and New Zealand showed that 74% of employers experienced a rapid digital transformation to ensure business continuity.
Today's market faces the same challenges:
• Talent and skills shortage
• Lack of communication infrastructure
• Higher online consumer demand pressure in the sector
According to Coursera Global Skills Report 2021, Project Management and Data Analysis are the top trending skills across the APAC region.
New Zealand is no different, and the hiring demand is increasing with a growth of 2,000 new jobs in the tech sector every year. IT occupations have been steadily rising for the past five years, growing 4.7 per cent a year to 98,583 jobs across all sectors by 2019.
According to the 2021 Digital Skills forum report, New Zealand is experiencing a skills mismatch rather than a skills shortage. The report suggests that New Zealand has enough graduates and immigrants under IT occupations, but the job market stays focus on senior positions instead.
Our survey shows that almost 60% of employers in Technology, Project and Transformation (TP&T) are expecting an increase in their team's headcount over the next six months. This complex equation might pressure salaries.
