Tech Jobs on the Upswing

According to new research, the number of vacancies for tech professionals in the third quarter of this year increased by 23 per cent, compared to the previous quarter. Tech jobs have been harder to come by during the recession as organizations have cut back on non-essential IT projects and cut costs wherever possible. And more good news for those hoping to change jobs: the number of applicants per position has fallen by 25 per cent between the second and third quarters of this year. Research from recruiter CVScreen found that the number of individuals applying for the same post has fallen from 109 in May to 68 last month.
