IT Director in Robert Walters' Melbourne office, Liz Duncan, says businesses are willing to pay top dollar if their Return on Investment (ROI) objectives can be met.
-Clients are moving out of 'cost reduction' mode into a more focused model of technology investments based on substantial ROIs," she said in a statement. -Skills gaps have been identified and now need to be filled from the market".
These skills are spread across the whole spectrum of the IT industry, she said, but pointed out CIO and CTO roles are becoming -extremely rare" at the moment. Candidates must be flexible and adaptable and the possess the -ability to contribute to business value" due to changing economic circumstances.
According to Duncan, new opportunities are stemming from a lifting on headcount freezes and investment by major companies in infrastructure and development.
This business of sending IT jobs to India suckes big time. They have a endless supply of cheap labor in that country. They lie big time man. Best part is they put 5+ years of experience even if the technology is only a couple of yers old. I have come across multiple frauds, with all types of companies, respectable compnies or otherwise. They cheat big time.
