ICT Pay Stable in NZ, But Need for GIS Pros Rises
Recruitment firm Hudson ran the survey comparing 2008 and 2009. Basically, there is little change in pay, though there are cutbacks in personnel in some areas. Of note geospatial practitioners:
‘In some areas, we have seen an increased requirement for geospatial professionals, a field that is increasing in importance as people become more aware of geospatial usage in business,’ the report says.
“In contrast, we are seeing less demand for candidates in entry level IT jobs, as more companies decide to absorb the extra responsibilities covered by these roles, as well as outsourcing or off-shoring roles at this level.”
