The new normal: IT professionals with high expectations
The IT labour market in 2025 is characterised by exciting dynamics. While companies are still looking for qualified IT experts, the starting position for applicants has changed significantly. IT specialists are now more selective than ever, and for good reason. They know their value, monitor the market closely and choose employers very carefully. In addition to an attractive salary, flexible working models, further development opportunities and a corporate culture that fits in with their own values are particularly important.
There are many reasons for this new attitude:
- Technological trends: advancing digitalisation, cloud solutions and the use of artificial intelligence are constantly creating new requirements and specialisations.
- Changing labour market: Although the number of IT vacancies has recently fallen slightly, the structural shortage of skilled workers remains. The best talents can still choose their employers.
- Transparency and information: Evaluation platforms and social media are making corporate culture and working conditions more visible than ever. IT expert: employees gather in-depth information before they apply and expect authenticity rather than glossy promises.
Why you as a company can still sit back and relax
Despite this development, you as a company need not worry. After all, those who recognise the signs of the times and implement modern recruiting strategies will benefit from the new market situation, more than ever before.
- Targeted IT recruiting instead of a watering can: Successful companies today rely on data-driven, customised recruiting approaches. Intelligent matching systems, automated processes and an authentic employer brand ensure that you address exactly the talent that really suits you. This saves you time and resources and increases the quality of your placements.
- Employer branding with substance: IT specialists are looking for meaning, development and appreciation. Companies that communicate their culture honestly and rely on genuine feedback become a magnet for the best talent. Authenticity and transparency are more important than expensive advertising campaigns, and can be managed in a targeted manner.
- Technology as a competitive advantage: Modern recruiting tools take over routine tasks, filter suitable candidates and enable a personalised candidate experience. This leaves more time for a personalised approach and building genuine relationships – a decisive advantage in the ‘war for talent’.
Picky IT specialists? An advantage for innovative companies
The increased demands of IT specialists are not a risk, but an opportunity. They are forcing companies to optimise processes, communicate authentically and use new technologies. Those who actively shape this change will not only attract the best talent – but also motivated, loyal employees who really fit in with the company.
