IT vacancies in Scotland rise 24 per cent year-on-year

The data, provided by recruitment software company, Innovantage, reveals the notable increase in overall demand for professionals rose by 16 per cent.

Moya Ryland’s, regional director at APSCo, said: “After months of progress, professional job availability in Scotland is seeing continued growth. Leading this success is the country’s IT sector, which is going from strength to strength.”

“Following an investment of £6.9 million, innovative software firm, Mudano will be launching an Edinburgh office to create the first artificial intelligence project management software in the world. Moves such as this are vital to the Scottish economy to fuel growth, further investment and endorse the country’s strength in the sector. This will no doubt connect more businesses with the skilled workforce creating more job opportunities in the region.

“Mudano is a great example of how companies are seeing the benefits Scotland has to offer. Additionally, with the Scottish Government offering £48 million to a National Manufacturing Institute in the country this will harness innovation by allowing companies in the sector to access new technologies and talent pools.”
