Amid global economic fears, IT workers were in top demand in the last quarter but bosses weren’t willing to cough up much extra cash, according to the latest survey by IT recruiter Peoplebank.
The latest in the company’s quarterly survey of 50 IT roles in Australian capital cities found that in the last quarter to the beginning of this month, pay rises in those roles were in line or just slightly better than the CPI (consumer price index). Peoplebank noted that the pay rises tended to be in roles that had not had a pay rise in the last year, and were most common in Sydney, Brisbane, Canberra and Adelaide.

ECONOMIC uncertainty has not dampened tech sector salary growth. Rises are generally in line or slightly above the consumer price index and some specialty roles have a “retention premium”, a survey finds. Peoplebank, Australia’s largest IT recruiter, today released its quarterly salary survey, which tracks rates and salaries in more than 50 IT roles across the country’s capital cities.
It shows demand for technology skills continued to grow in Sydney, Canberra and Perth and remained steady in Melbourne, Adelaide and Brisbane.
