CV Screen’s Matthew Iveson commented “The continued high demand for IT professionals has continued to put upward pressure on IT Salaries.”

“There are certain technical skills where there is still a considerable war for talent with candidates with strong skills in areas such as .Net, C# and PHP inundated with opportunities” continued Iveson.

With regards to the outlook for salaries in 2008, Iveson commented “The IT Jobs market is holding up well in spite of the wider economic problems. It is likely that as a result of the rising costs of living in the UK that more candidates will seek to move for financial reasons, thus putting further upward pressure on IT salaries.
