More than 1 in 3 IT candidates are now willing to accept a 10% salary cut*
We at Langley James have been busy completing a survey of candidates that registered with us in January 2009. We had a great response, and of those questioned the results were as follows:
Only 5% have found a new position, leaving the other 95% still seeking that perfect opportunity.
30% of candidates had not yet managed to secure an interview, with the average number of interviews amounting to just 1.
More than a third of candidates asked would be willing to accept up to 10% lower than their expected salary in the current climate, with some candidates even stating that they would take a salary cut of up to 40%.
22% of the responses however, found that candidates simply could not lower their salary expectations due to rising living costs.
If you would like assistance recruiting, or would like us to carry out a bespoke salary survey to your specific needs please let us know.
