September 2020 IT Recruitment Salary Guide
Our recruitment consultants speak with hundreds of business leaders and professionals every day. This gives us unique insight into what candidates are looking for in a job offer, and which skills employers need to pay a premium to secure. We also monitor job boards and prices on a continuous basis to collate the most accurate salary and contract rates for each individual job role.
Our September 2020 Salary Guide edition does depict fluctuations in the percentage of rate changes. The current job market plays a huge factor here, with fewer jobs advertised during COVID-19, thus creating greater variations in salary changes.
