Irelands Q2 Hiring Outlook Optimistic Despite the Worst Talent Shortage in 17 Years

37% of Irish Employers are Planning on Hiring New Staff in Q2 2023Irish employers continue to hire strongly, but more than four in five are struggling to attract talent according to the latest ManpowerGroup Employment Outlook Survey. In the second quarter of 2023 the national hiring Outlook is +22%, down three percentage-points on last quarter and down eight percentage-points year-on-year.The ManpowerGroup Employment Outlook Survey is based on responses from 408 employers across Ireland. It asks whether employers intend to hire additional workers or reduce the size of their workforce in the coming quarter. It is the most comprehensive, forward-looking employment survey of its kind in the world. 81% of Irish employers are having difficulty finding skilled talent, the highest figure recorded since the survey began. The Transport, Logistics & Automotive sector reports the greatest difficulty finding talent (+90%), followed by Energy & Utilities (+88%), and Health Care & Life Sciences (+86%).“Businesses in Ireland are experiencing the worst talent shortage on record.” said John Galvin, Managing Director, ManpowerGroup Ireland. “Businesses are proactively trying to hire, but more than eight in ten are struggling to find the talent they need, more than at any other time in the past two decades ManpowerGroup has been tracking talent shortages. This is set against a backdrop of decreasing job applications, increased job-hopping, and increasingly higher salary expectations from candidates.” “To attract skilled talent in a talent scarce market, we are seeing businesses offering increased salaries across all levels. Data shows an increase of 16% for the €20k plus salary range, 20% increase for the €40k plus range, and an increase of 24% for jobs paying over €100k. This is substantially higher than the 7.8% inflation rate”.The Information Technology sector is recording the highest increase in optimism of any sector, with +32% of employers intending to hire, up 23 percentage-points on last quarter. Taking the rest of the top spots are Healthcare and Life Sciences (+42%), Finance & Real Estate (+34%) and Transport, Logistics & Automotive (+33%).“The Tech sector is coming back to life” explains Galvin. “Renewed optimism is revolving around Ireland’s positive economic growth projections for 2023 and the cooling of interest rate increases. However, with the talent shortage at a record high, candidates can afford to be very selective over the roles they choose, with 79% of IT companies reporting difficulty finding skilled talent.”Employers in Dublin report a hiring Outlook of +25%, down two percentage-points on last quarter and a decline of four percentage-points year-on-year. Leinster (9%), Connaught (+15%), Munster (+30%), and Ulster [Cavan, Donegal & Monaghan] (+35%) all report positive Outlooks.82% of employers in Dublin report difficulty finding skilled talent. Across the regions, Munster (86%), Leinster (83%), Ulster [Cavan, Donegal, and Monaghan] (81%), while Connaught reports the least difficulty (59%).Galvin continues: “We have seen a slight decline in Dublin’s employment Outlook, with our data showing job advertisements down 12%. However, hiring across the Capital remains strong – nowhere more so than in the Healthcare & Life Sciences sector, where more than half the employers in the industry are looking to hire. Despite this hiring optimism, the Healthcare & Life Sciences space is having some of the greatest difficulty finding the talent that fits their needs.”ManpowerGroup forecast a decline in hiring Outlook for micro-businesses in Ireland for Q2, with 22% of businesses with ten employees or fewer intending to hire, down 22 percentage-points on last quarter. Meanwhile, large businesses with over 250 employees have increased their hiring plans, with30% intending to hire, up nine percentage-points on Q1. 72% of micro-businesses report difficulty finding skilled talent, compared to 88% of small businesses with 10-49 employees, 81% of medium-sized businesses with 50-249 employees, and 79% of large businesses.“We know that salaries are increasing in most sectors, and larger employers have the greatest ability to absorb salary increases. Employers may also be reducing headcount in non-essential roles in order to pay for the salaries needed to meet the expectations of highly skilled talent. This is more challenging for smaller businesses who have less headroom to downsize while remaining operational. Despite this, businesses of all sizes remain optimistic going into the second quarter.” concludes Galvin.

Cybersecurity is the Top IT Staffing Priority for 2023

Cybersecurity Professionals Are Highly Sought After for 2023. Unsurprising Cybersecurity is the number one priority for organisations in 2023 when it comes to prioritising new hire resources. This space has attracted much media attention due to the increasing volume of cyber attacks experienced by companies in Ireland and Globally (HSE, learning institutions and financial organisations being particularly targeted). As a result many organisations of all sizes and sectors have placed a much higher degree of scrutiny on their internal processes and protection capabilities. There has been an uptick in the number of direct job hires in this space to maintain and manage organisations cybersecurity requirements in house. The impact of the cyber skills shortage on organisations is significant. Organisations that are unable to fill critical cyber security positions risk becoming vulnerable to cyber threats. The consequences of a cyber-attack can be devastating, including financial losses, reputational damage, legal issues, and loss of customer trust. Cyber security incidents can also lead to the loss of sensitive data, which can have severe consequences for the affected individuals and organisations.The top priorities for IT staffing centre around utilising existing tech rather than developing new solutions, with Cybersecurity (34%) Technical Support (32%) and Customer Experience (31%) ranking as the top 3 priorities. Smaller businesses focus more on customer experience, prioritizing hiring for customer/user experience roles and customer relationship roles, whereas larger organisations prioritize cybersecurity. New IT hires are more likely to have the required technical capability but need upskilling in company culture and soft skills. 43% of organsations plan to increase their IT talent budgets in the next 12 months despite fears around recession and inflation. Large organisations are predicting bigger increases in their IT talent budget. Cyber security is a top priority for all organisation types worldwide. However, the cyber security skills shortage has long been a concern among cyber security professionals. With more and more cyber threats emerging every day, organisations must ensure they have the right personnel and resources in place to protect their assets. At Experis we are seeing a significant rise in demand for cybersecurity staff, with candidates possessing the required technical skillsets in high demand. These candidates are hard to find in the marketplace and requires significant sourcing capabilities in order to match job requirements with candidate abilities.

What are the Latest HR Trends in the Technology Sector?

The Latest HR Tech Trends from Experis IrelandThe layoffs by big tech companies have released much needed skilled talent for other IT companies to attract and hire, which may ease the talent shortage in IT. Meanwhile, long-standing tech companies like IBM and Google are continuing to hire. Communication Services (19) and Consumer Goods & Services (19), while still moderately confident, expect the smallest increase in payrolls following lower consumer confidence on the back of high cost of living and inflation. Current workplace tech challenges are being met by upskilling the existing workforce, but future digital transformation anticipates a rise in automation Currently, employers are more likely to meet technology challenges by training and upskilling their existing workforce (50%) or hiring workers with the right skills (46%). Although workers are willing and able to upskill, current upskilling programs face challenges due to lack of budget and time. Looking to the future, consideration of automation as a solution increases from 39% to 50% among employers. Technology challenges in different sectors are currently being met using automation in 35-48% of organizations, but in the future more than half in every sector expect to use automation to meet these challenges. Cybersecurity is the top IT staffing priority for the coming 12 months The top priorities for IT staffing center around utilizing existing tech rather than developing new solutions, with Cybersecurity (34%) Technical Support (32%) and Customer Experience (31%) ranking as the top 3 priorities. Smaller businesses focus more on customer experience, prioritizing hiring for customer/user experience roles and customer relationship roles, whereas larger organizations prioritize cybersecurity. New IT hires are more likely to have the required technical capability but need upskilling in company culture and soft skills. Top priorities for IT staffing align with perceived IT skills gapsGreatest IT skills gaps are perceived to be in Cybersecurity (33%) and Technical Support (32%) mirroring the areas which employers cited as top priorities for hiring. IT sector reports the greatest need for training in Cybersecurity (44%) despite their industry expertise, perhaps reflecting their heightened understanding of risk in this area. 43% of organizations plan to increase their IT talent budgets in the next 12 months despite fears around recession and inflationLarge organizations predicting bigger increases in their IT talent budget.

The Most In-Demand Tech Jobs in 2023

The Most In-Demand Tech Jobs in 2023The UK employment landscape has changed dramatically over the past 12 months. With the number of vacancies outstripping the number of unemployed workers for the first time, and employers engaged in hot competition for prime candidates, it’s become an employee’s market.This is especially so in IT and tech, where demand for workers with high levels of expertise continues to grow, and top candidates are commanding best compensation and a workplace culture to match their personal needs.As the days remaining in 2022 continue to dwindle, IT and tech workers with an eye for fresh horizons should be looking to the year ahead, where employee demand is expected to remain intense. But to look ahead, you must know which tech roles will be the hottest, where they can be found, and what specialist skills and knowledge you’ll need to secure your dream job.Read on to discover everything you need to know about the most in-demand IT and tech roles in 2023.What are the hottest IT and tech jobs for 2023?The IT and tech jobs that will be in most demand next year can be summed up in one word – ‘data’.Whether it’s to better understand and communicate with their customers, shape the products and services they sell, support their data and IT systems, administer logistics and production operations, power R&D, or better control their financial systems; organisations across the UK will require more data analysts, developers, architects, engineers, and experienced staff in the important service roles that support them, than ever before. This will create a situation where premium candidates can be selective in their employment – commanding top level salaries and benefits, opting for an employer who ticks all the right culture and ethics boxes, and choosing where, when, and how they work.The roles in most demand in 2023Data analystsBusiness Analysts.NET developersCloud/Data ArchitectsData EngineersTechnical SupportDatabase AdministratorsIT Security.The skills and knowledge employers wantHard skills:SQLPower BIJava and JavascriptTech stacks like React Python or .NETCloud computingDevOpsSoft skills:Project ManagementData LiteracyTechnical WritingContent Creation.The salaries employers are offeringAverage salaries for the roles above range from €40,000 to€90,000, although data architects and candidates with strong cloud skills may command salaries above the highest level.Average salaries by role (as of August 2022):Data engineers, architects, analysts, and cloud engineers – €85,000 – €90,000IT security – €65,000Database administration – €55,000Technical support – €35,000.Where the IT and Tech jobs are in 2023Although Dublin will still dominate the Irish tech sector and provide rich opportunities for top IT and tech workers, 2023 will be the year of more regional hires and expansion beyond the Dublin market due to the high cost of living in Dublin and the migration of staff from town in the non-office environment. Which jobs in tech are in decline?Not all IT and tech workers will enjoy high demand next year, some roles are witnessing reducing demand from employers. The reasons for decline include: new technology driving new skills, outsourcing of lower-need roles to lower-cost countries, changing consumer demands, and business attrition.However, regardless of the reasons demand for these roles is dropping off, the situation gives candidates in these risk categories a hard choice – continue as you are and chance that your role will become obsolete or upskill yourself in the roles that employers need now and in the mid-term. Neither of these options is easy, but valuable IT and tech experience may go to waste if workers in declining roles are not offered the skill transformations they need.Some employers may provide skills development as part of their package, but where it is not available via a corporate offer, candidates in ‘at risk’ job categories should immediately find other options to build the critical skills they need to compete for the next wave of job roles.IT and tech roles with reducing demandNetwork engineersSingle-language developersInfrastructure engineersSystems administrators.Experis skills transformation resource for IT and tech workersStart building the new skills you will need in 2023:Experis Career AcceleratorWhat are IT and tech employees asking for?At a time where 75% of employers are reporting difficulties in hiring– a 16 year high – listening, adapting, and responding to workers’ needs beyond the paycheque has become a differentiating factor in attracting and retaining the best talent. This employer sea-change is matched by candidates’ rising expectations – where compensation is a big thing, but it’s not the only thing they want in their dream job.Great expectations – what employees are seeking most from employersCompetitive pay and benefitsFlexible workingGood company culture and ethicsUpskilling, and learning and developmentRoles outside of IR35.Why are employees changing jobs?If IT and tech workers are seeking the features listed above in their next role, it would be expected that failure to achieve these needs in their current job is the reason they are switching. However, this is not always the case – lack of acknowledgement that workers are a valued part of the organisation and poor opportunities for career advancement are also key factors in job mobility.Important factors for changing jobs:Uncompetitive remunerationLack of flexible workingPoor company cultureNot feeling valuedLack of opportunities for career advancement.What about IT and tech jobs beyond 2023?Skills and experience are more important than ever and training in the right skills at the right time is key. Tech workers must keep track of ever-changing trends and continually take training to ensure their skills remain relevant, as technology for business continues to evolve.How to secure the hot IT and tech job you want2023 will be the year of IT and tech, as the post-pandemic recovery gives way to an urgent need for Irish businesses to invest in new technology and upgrade their ageing data systems. The growth in in-demand tech jobs will also be more widespread than ever before, and the need for candidates to offer the specific skillsets that employers want will be essential for success.Key points workers must consider when seeking their next role:Be prepared to relocate – some of the hottest jobs will be outside the South-EastResearch before you apply – it’s not just about the paycheque, make sure your next role meets your employment expectationsContinual skills development is essential– tech workers must seek out the training and learning that keeps their skillset at the forefront of employer demand.Are you seeking your next IT and tech role, or the best programme for skills transformation?
