2 Salary Guide 2018-2019NOTE FROM THE CEO
Note from the CEO
By any measure, Canada’s employment scene has become
increasingly healthy throughout 2018. In March 2018 the
overall unemployment rate of 5.8% was the lowest in four
decades with all provinces showing steady employment
growth. This was followed by further job creation into the
summer months. Against the backdrop of trade agreement
negotiations and tariffs there lurks some uncertainty,
but nevertheless for employers seeking to hire IT staff,
competition has increased.
If there is an area of the job market worldwide which is
growing faster than others it is IT. In the hotspots for IT in
Vancouver, GTA and Montreal employers have known for
some time that competing for talent has become more
difficult, and this is set to continue. However, regions outside
the IT hotspots are also experiencing more competition as for
example the economy continues to improve in Alberta, and
more companies adopt newer technologies.
As workers are presented with more choices, understanding
compensation trends and deploying effective hiring practices
becomes top of mind for most organizations. We present this
year’s salary guide as a tool we hope will assist you and your
organization to compete for talent in your industry and region.
And, as usual, we would be pleased to add some colour and
detail over the phone or in person regarding the data in this
guide, or on other trends and hiring strategies in your market.
