Introduction
Clicks IT Recruitment is pleased to provide you with the latest analysis of the state of the
Australian IT staffing market – the 2021 IT Recruitment & Retention Report. The report provides
insights into hiring intentions, IT spending in both corporate and government sectors, and current
IT hiring trends. We have also included commentary to help you better understand how these
factors have changed over the past 12 months.

It hardly needs stating that 2020 has been a year like no other. So much so that Clicks conducted
an additional IT Recruitment & Retention survey of our clients in July to gain contemporary
business intelligence on the changes to market conditions. Having this additional data allows
us to provide you with valuable context on the year’s oscillating circumstances. Predictably,
many business indicators fell in July, at a time when expenditure control, business continuity and
managing remote workforces were key priorities. We were therefore delighted to see an equally
impressive recovery across all fronts in our December data.

There are other items of note in this report, specifically in our respondent base. Our Baby
Boomers dropped from 21% prior year to just 1% this year, whilst our Gen Zers (born 1998 – 2010)
increased from 1% prior year to 20% this year. We are getting younger! We welcome the views of
this cohort and look forward to the diversity they bring to this dialogue. On other diversity fronts,
Clicks continues to strengthen its position as a thought leader in gender and neurodiversity
recruitment. This year we were invited to be the inaugural members of the Recruitment Industry
Reference Group, a Government funded program to teach employers and labour hire companies
how to confidently hire people with autism.

With hopes for improved politics in the United States, COVID-19 vaccines being delivered and
an increase in anticipated hiring demands, we are optimistic about a busy year ahead. Many
organisations in both the private and public sectors are committed to a full project pipeline
in 2021, which Clicks looks forward to assisting with through the provision of excellent IT
professionals. We are ideally placed to support your organisational objectives and hiring strategy.

Key Findings
During December 2020 we conducted our 24th survey and analysis of organisations
in Sydney, Melbourne, Brisbane and Canberra. Data from hundreds of respondents is
compared to 12 months prior and is analysed by organisation size and sector.

 What did the data reveal?

  1    Following the impact of COVID-19, there has been a strong recovery across all key
       indicators: sales revenue, IT budgets, and headcount.

  2    Pre-COVID, 45% of employers were expecting an increase in sales turnover. This
       dipped to 10% during COVID, and has rebounded to 38%.

  3    IT budgets have also experienced a rapid recovery, going from 13% expecting an
       increase during COVID, to 31%.

  4    46% of employers expect their IT staff numbers to remain steady across 2021,
       slightly below the ten year average of 48.2%.

  5    Permanent hiring intention has strengthened slightly, and is at a three year high,
       with 35% of respondents expecting to increase headcount.

  6    Dipping to 11% in July 2020, those expecting to increase IT contractor usage has
       also rallied, with 23% of employers now anticipating growth in 2021.

  7    Security and Applications Development continue to be the most difficult skill sets
       to recruit. They are also expected to be in high demand in the year ahead.

  8    IT salaries experienced their lowest increase on record during 2020, with an
       average increase of less than 1%.

  9    56% of employers reported no change to their IT salaries, however 47% reported
       having to pay more than they anticipated.

  10   Flexible working hours and the ability to work remotely continue to be the most
       highly valued employer offerings to improve retention.

                                                                IT RECRUITMENT & RETENTION REPORT 2021 1

                                                           Pre-COVID, 45% of respondents
                                                           were expecting an increase, and
                                                           24% were expecting a decrease.
                                                           During the peak of COVID in July,
                                                           these figures altered dramatically:
                                                           just 10% anticipating an increase,
                                                           and 73% a decrease.

                                                     The December results talk to the rapid recovery
                                                     of our economy, with the figures returning to                                                   59%
                       38%                           pre-COVID levels. 38% are now expecting an                                                    0–10%­

     Equally as encouraging as the turnover
     forecasts, those expecting an increase
     in their IT budget has bounced back to
     31%, the 10 year average, from a low of
     13% during COVID.

            31% is an even stronger result than
            our most recent pre-COVID survey in
            Dec 2019, when 27% were expecting
            an increase in overall IT budget.

This jumped to 22% during COVID, and has now eased to 16% in                                 this is slightly above the 15 year average of 45.4%.
