November 2020 IT Recruitment Salary Guide Review: 

The demand for IT professionals continued to rise in November 2020 despite the fact it has been an unusual month!  IT salary and contract rates have seen very little change this month however the ever-increasing demand for IT specialists continues and a lack of candidates with the right skills remains an issue.

Langley James had a buoyant October/November with more vacancies and placements this month than any other in 2020.

Despite many changes this year, many companies have already planned for the months ahead and most are remote working. Life and business go on and unlike March’s panic-driven slowdown, many businesses are restructuring to be post-pandemic ready, with IT at the forefront of their plans.
