INFORMATION TECHNOLOGY - DEVELOPMENT HALF YEARLY, 2014 www.robertwalters.com.au MARKET UPDATE NSW OVERVIEW In the first half of 2014, the Sydney IT development market saw increased recruitment activity in comparison to previous years. The telco industry and public sector saw a high amount of activity in the Java and testing markets, and this was driven by new projects. The commerce and industry sector saw an increase in the need for professionals skilled in .Net technologies, iOS development, as well as UI/UX design. We also saw a large increase in the Magento and CQ5 technologies across eCommerce organisations as they sought to improve their online transaction-based portfolios. The banking sector saw a mix of strategic, high-level hires and an increase in the number of fixed-term opportunities for developers with a focus on Core Java and C# with WPF skills. Across all sectors, the market was influenced by increased confidence in Australia’s economy, and as a result organisations increased hiring across development technologies. The commerce and telco sector saw a shortage in .Net, UX/UI design, iOS, and JavaScript candidates, while the banking sector saw a lack of availability of skills including UX/UI design, and front office development with FX business domain knowledge. LOOKING FORWARD In the next half of 2014 and with the approval of new projects, we expect the banking sector to continue to demand candidates in UX/UI design, as well as front office investment banking developers with C# and WPF experience. The commerce and industry sector will continue to see demand across CQ5/AEM and Magento development as organisations focus on improving their online transaction presence. We also expect a continued shortage of .Net developers with UI design experience in the commerce sector with an increase of opportunities in the market for this skill set. The telco sector will continue to demand CQ5/AEM skills along with Native Mobile Development (iOS/Android) skills as projects are planned and funded until the end of 2014. The growing popularity of virtualised environments has also seen an increased need of skills in the Cloud space. _ “Candidates have a wider choice of opportunities and therefore highlighting every benefit of a role at the briefing stage is imperative – examples include health insurance, flexibility in working hours, career growth opportunities and job security.” _ www.robertwalters.com.au In order to source and secure the top talent, we recommend that the interview process is as streamlined as possible. Candidates have a wider choice of opportunities and therefore highlighting every benefit of a role at the briefing stage is imperative – examples include health insurance, flexibility in working hours, career growth opportunities and job security. In the commerce and industry sector as well as the telco and public sector, the salaries for SharePoint developers have aligned with those of .Net developers, where historically .Net developer salaries were significantly higher. Candidates with experience in niche areas such as developers with Cloud experience (AWS and Microsoft Azure), Senior JavaScript and Native iOS professionals will command a premium and will continue to do so throughout 2014. All other areas across development and testing remained at the same level in the first half of 2014 and are expected to remain constant as the demand and availability continue at similar levels. KEY TRENDS • There will be an increased demand for contractors due to an increase in project sign-off after the new financial year • There will be continued focus on front office and front end development across C# and WPF to improve the user experience • eCommerce platforms will increase in popularity and the market will therefore become more candidate-short across CQ5 and Magento, as organisations focus on improving their online transaction presence For more information on market trends or to discuss your recruitment needs, contact: Marsha El-Khoury Manager, IT Parramatta Tel: 02 8836 3603 Email: [email protected] INFORMATION TECHNOLOGY - DEVELOPMENT ROLE PERMANENT SALARY PER ANNUM AUD ($) Java Developer 70 - 110k Senior Java Developer 100 - 140k .NET Developer 60 - 110k Senior .NET Developer 100 - 140k Senior SharePoint Developer 100 - 140k SharePoint Developer 85 - 110k Front End Developer 75 - 100k Senior Front End Developer 95 - 140k Producer 60 - 80k Senior Producer 80 - 100k UX/UI Designer 110 - 150k Web Developer (PHP) 65 - 75k Senior Web Developer (PHP) 75 - 90k iOS/Android Developer 100k+ Test Analyst 65 - 70k Senior Test Analyst 70 - 100k Test Lead 100 - 120k Test Manager 120 - 160k ROLE CONTRACT RATES PER DAY AUD ($) Java Developer 450 - 650 Senior Java Developer 600 - 900 .NET Developer 500 - 700 Senior .NET Developer 600 - 900 Senior SharePoint Developer 600 - 900 SharePoint Developer 600 - 700 Front End Developer 400 - 600 Senior Front End Developer 500 - 900 Producer 350 - 600 Senior Producer 600 - 750 UX/UI Designer 560 - 800 Web Developer (PHP) 320 - 500 Senior Web Developer (PHP) 450 - 600 iOS/Android Developer 520 - 800 Test Analyst 400 - 500 Senior Test Analyst 450 - 600 Test Lead 550 - 750 Test Manager 700 - 1000 NB: Figures are salaries inclusive of superannuation, but exclusive of benefits/ bonuses unless otherwise specified. www.robertwalters.com.au AT A GLANCE NATIONAL HIRING TRENDS Hiring levels in the information technology sector across Australia are expected to remain steady over the next six months, with 37% of surveyed hiring managers indicating that their hiring levels will stay the same.
