ICT professionals are in high-demand across the Australian continent, according to a quantitative data released by the Government of Australia recently.
The Labour Market Information Portal (LMIA) further confirmed that the country registered a total of 5,600 online job advertisements, only within the month of April 2020 and that exclusively for the IT workers.
These figures illustrating the exceptional demand of IT professionals are even higher when compared with that of medical practitioners and nurses (5100), personal carers and aides (3300) and corporate managers (2500).
However, the Internet Vacancy Index (IVI) reported that this is the largest decline in the total demand since the media group has started reporting the numbers from January 2006.
There were only 94,300 employment advertisements, decreased to 16.4 percent or went down by 18,400 advertisements when compared to the last month of March 2020.
Also, when comparing the figures with the previous year, the decline was even more evident, where job advertisements have fallen down to approximately 46.1 percent.
Where are most of the jobs concentrated?
The states and territories across Australia are looking forward to hire an ever increased number of ICT professionals and majority of these jobs are located on the eastern seaboard.
The state of New South Wales (NSW) is leading all others with a total of 2,200 new job openings and Australian Capital Territory (ACT) with 840 new employment opportunities. Here, ICT professionals are among the top-needed workers. In addition to this, Queensland requires another set of 690 workers, followed by the state of Western Australia which needs 340 tech workers and 210 in South Australia.
However, states like Tasmania and Northern Territory does not have the demand of ICT professionals in their top most required employment positions.
New hiring should go on
Even in a declining labour market for any country, new positions need to be generated and also filled at the same time as talented and skilled individuals changes their jobs and/or leave their positions.
The current scenario has proved to be a challenge especially for the professionals working in human resource departments as they would now be required to interview and then hire potential applicants for different job roles without ever meeting them personally.
A worldwide poll conducted last month across 334 Human Resource heads under a research conducted by the tech research firm Gartner found that despite 82 percent of the organizations were predicting a downfall within the external hiring for the upcoming three months, 86 percent confirmed to be harnessing the new technology for interviewing and onboarding the new talented employees.
While a large number of corporate organizations are currently conducting interviews only remotely due to the ongoing Covid-19 pandemic situation, virtual interviewing will soon become the new standard for hiring and recruiting the candidates as well as leaders as soon as the social distancing measures would be lifted, as told by the Lauren Smith, the vice president of the Gartner HR Practice.
It is simultaneously predicted that there will also be more internal opportunities that will soon get generated for all those individuals that are already working with an employer.
As businesses and operations are changing for many organizations, human resource department and senior leaders can look forward to the opportunity of hiring new people that they require for apparently new job roles by sourcing the talent internally.
The research conducted by Gartner further added that although the employers are not actively searching for new employees, 39 percent of these employees would themselves be open to switching to new roles and responsibilities within their current corporate organization.
