Contracting in the IT Sector: IT Professionals
Enabling flexible independent work
With half the new growth in the global consulting market coming from digital transformation, IT remains the dominant area of all agency hiring. Almost a third of organisations expect to increase their use of independent contractors in data analytics and digital technology in the next three years, with Covid-19 escalating the need for change. The movement towards hybrid ways of working and online trading means that technology is at the forefront of all business transformation. Technologies such as artificial intelligence, big data, the Internet of Things, augmented reality, and robotics will be important in making businesses more competitive and resilient to future disruptions. IT contractors who can align their core skills with these emerging tech specialisms will be among those in high demand.
