Executive Employment Growth Driven by ICT Sector

The Information and Communications Technology (ICT) sector outstripped every other business and industry sector in the recruitment of executives, with demand in the sector up by +70% in February compared with last year, according to research from executive search firm EL Consult, reports itwire.com.

Demand for executives across all other sectors was also relatively buoyant, increasing year-on-year by +24%. The engineering sector was the other sector, along with ICT, paving the way in increasing executive employment, with a rise of +35%  in February from a year ago.

The executive employment increases in both ICT and engineering follow gains in the final months of 2013. ICT led the way in February, assisted by a significant pick-up in all of the large states, while the marketing and financial sectors saw the smallest increase, largely due to only small gains in new government positions.
