IT recruitment specialist Jamie Bowler predicted that there will be an increase in demand for technology positions as confidence rises about the UK jobs market.
He commented: 'IT is at the core function of all business and as a result we are seeing increased demand from consultancies. This in itself suggests that more projects are being signed off as businesses grow in confidence.'
Mr Bowler added that the publication of the Digital Britain report has shown that the government intends IT jobs to be a key part of the country's economic success.
In addition, he noted that businesses are increasingly interested in using new internet technologies based on Web 2.0 and claimed this could drive further IT recruitment.
A recent report by the Recruitment and Employment Confederation and professional services provider KPMG found that demand for new workers in the UK has grown at its strongest rate since July 2007.
The research found that 41.7 per cent of companies now have more employees than a month earlier, while 38.4 per cent have the same.
