09 IS GAME CHANGING? IN MY 21 YEARS IN THE IT RECRUITMENT INDUSTRY I THINK WE MAY BE JUST BE COMING OUT OF THE MOST ‘GAME CHANGING’ PERIOD I HAVE SEEN. SURE 1990 WAS TOUGH POST THE ’87 CRASH AND Y2K CREATED HUGE OPPORTUNITY, THEN A FOLLOWING LULL, BUT THIS MAY BE DIFFERENT! |

1.THE FLEXIBLE WORKFORCE IS NOW A REALITY! 2.PRICE TRANSPARENCY AND VALUE IS FOR REAL! 3.SOCIAL NETWORKS IS THE GREAT TECHNOLOGY ENABLER! 4."PEOPLE ARE OUR MOST IMPORTANT ASSET"...THIS MANTRA WILL NOW BE TESTED LIKE NEVER BEFORE! |

A SURVEY CONDUCTED BY MICRO FOCUS AND CFO RESEARCH SERVICES FOUND THAT MOST CFOS AND FINANCIAL PROFESSIONALS WILL INVEST IN EXISTING IT SYSTEMS TO GAIN EFFICIENCY AND INCREASE INNOVATION IN THE FINANCIAL DOWNTURN. |
|
The results indicate that most respondents are likely to invest in existing IT systems rather than to introduce new ones and CFOs and finance professionals view gains in efficiency and cost savings as the two most important measures of ROI for IT projects. |

DON’T DWELL ABOUT LOSING A JOB YOU LOVED, IT’S IMPORTANT TO REALISE THAT SOMETHING BETTER CAN COME ALONG. |

What’s one positive outcome of the recession? It’s leading people to consider a career change. Though the process of figuring out what to do next can be overwhelming, it’s also empowering. Taking stock of one’s skills, strengths, interests and experience makes an individual realisee how much he or she knows and has to offer. Investigating career options also helps employed professionals extricate themselves from dead-end jobs. For people who are unemployed, a layoff can be the catalyst for pursuing a professional dream. |

THIS YEAR HAS BEEN AN INTERESTING ONE TO BE IN RECRUITMENT TO SAY THE LEAST. The IT market has been tough and has even seen some IT Recruiters exiting the industry. Due to a great team and plenty of drive and determination Ninetwenty thankfully has not been one of them and we can now see real reasons to feel optimistic about the IT industry in 2010. |
|
Recently we have seen an increase in the amount of vacancies appearing, especially in the permanent space, but there is still a way to go from where the marketplace was back in 2007 / early 2008. |
