The increase in confidence is likely to create an increase demand for IT staff or those looking for a new career in the industry.
James Smith, director of Networkers International, said that employers appreciate the flexibility of contract workers.
'There is still a strong demand in both permanent and contract recruitment, but clients are more confident about taking on contractors for specific projects due to the flexibility they get with it,' he told Recruiter.co.uk.
He said that while the recovery is still slow, contract IT staff allow employers to get projects underway without having to commit fully to a new member of staff.
A recent KPMG study revealed that the number of contract positions has increased at the sharpest rate since July 2007.
Bernard Brown, partner and head of Business Services at KPMG, said that the results of the study overall reveal that the job market remains volatile.
