The war for talent for digital creative technologists is easing due to an increase in the number of candidate registrations, according to Neil Clements, head of recruitment for digital technical roles at Major Players.

Major Players says 52% of those registrations have occurred since January 2010.

Clements says: “While the candidates are in short supply and the briefs are coming in thick and fast, the figures for 2011 are encouraging. With over half of our creative technologists registering over the last year, our consultants expect to see this figure increase over the forthcoming months as candidates catch up with the market.

“These figures are further bolstered when you consider that a LinkedIn group for the profession was only established earlier this year and its membership is steadily gathering momentum. This new role has been born out of a need for technologically skilled individuals with a creative mind to deliver innovative digital solutions with flair and commercial value.”
