IT hiring to rise by 15 per cent in Canada


IT workers have a reason to smile because they are going to get more job opportunities in the next coming year. According to a report by Robert Half Technology (RHT), Canada is merging into a seller’s market for IT professionals. The staffing firm surveyed hundreds of CIOs across the country, finding that a net 15 per cent planned to add to their IT department’s ranks in the year’s next quarter.

According to the RHT, the most demanded IT professionals are those experienced in technical support and help-desk roles, followed closely by network administrators and application developers. And most importantly, network administration and IT security experts were the specific skill set CIOs were looking for.

“Definitely driving an increased need, if you will, for help-desk professionals, network professionals and security professionals,” Lara Dodo said, regional vice-president at RHT in Canada.

(i.e. "more job opportunities in the next coming year" should be "more job opportunities in the coming year" and at the end, "Lara Dodo, regional vice president of RHT in Canada, said."
