A report by CV Screen explained that IT vacancies rose by 47 per cent during the three-month period when compared to the same quarter in 2009.
In addition, the research showed that the number of jobseekers applying for each role decreased from 295 to 187, which is a fall of 36 per cent, during the same period.
Matthew Iveson, managing director of CV Screen, said that the decrease in the number of applicants per vacancy could be due to IT jobseekers becoming more selective in the roles they are considering.
"The first half of 2010 has proven to be a key time in the economic recovery. We are fully optimistic that the second half of the year will continue to be just as encouraging," he commented.
This week, a report by pre-employment screening company Powerchex showed that there has been a 320 per cent increase in the number of offers for IT contractors in the financial services industry.
