Shortage of IT Professionals with Languages!
Jun/090
Finally it looks like things are picking up in the IT sector after a very slow-moving first half of 2009. Long may it continue!
The types of IT roles coming in are now becoming more and more specific as companies want to ensure that they get the exact skills required to add value to their business and provide return on investment.
While the upturn has yet to filter through to the areas of Project Management, Program management and the more business-focused IT roles, we are seeing an increase in development, RDBMS and Technical Support. However, the technical support roles all require fluency in a second or even a second and third language.
It is currently proving difficult to get candidates with the right level of technical knowledge combined with fluency in Spanish, Danish, Italian, German, French and Portuguese. All companies, of course, require fluent English and some require 2 of the mentioned languages along with strong Technical skills.
If you have a strong technical support background and are fluent in any of the above languages with English, Cork is your oyster right now! We’d be delighted to hear from you if you are on the lookout or know of anyone who is thinking of making the move over to Cork.
Alternatively, if you have any ideas or suggestions on how to source these candidates most effectively, let us know!
