The Opteamis indicator of IT market trends for the first quarter of 2022 is aimed at service providers, ESNs or Freelancers, as well as DSI-type contractors.
Central element pointed out by the experts, the global P2i index (IT services) is returning to balance and is approaching 1,000 points, the reference value in 2019.
As of the third quarter of 2020, it had only risen to 1,273 points in a year. Proof of a tense market linked to the strong recovery of digital transformation within companies!
A return to normality that, however, must be qualified: the volume of commercial needs is reduced by -10% while the available profiles are increasingly scarce. This is one of the repercussions of the COVID-19 pandemic: this drop of -14% is explained by the numerous job offers for IT services, service providers that are still assigned today.
The study, which can be found in its entirety here: https://www.opteamis.com/barometre-it/ provides a list of the five most requested features by companies. On the first step of the podium: the developer profession, and far behind, the functions of AMOA consultants, Test Engineer, Business Analyst and Project Manager that interest up to three times less.
Derived from the daily activity of the players on the Opteamis platform – more than 800 clients and principals, 6,000 ESNs and 300,000 freelancers – the “Jobs” indicator draws our attention.
In particular, those of Technical Architecture and Security highly sought after by decision makers. Key roles in the face of the increased risk of cyberattacks! Companies have understood this and seek to guarantee the security of their SI environments.
The average daily rate also holds surprises in the first quarter of the year… During a pandemic, the level of seniority mattered less. In fact, at the end of 2020, the TJM gap between senior and junior/confirmed profiles was just one hundred euros. Today, and for the first time since the health crisis, the price gap is widening again according to seniority: more than 150 euros between Junior and Senior.
In general, the TJM has increased significantly since 2021. In particular, in the development of web applications, which has become essential for companies in the midst of the digital revolution. The price level of this flagship specialty is growing by 40% in a year.
A boom already pointed out at the end of 2021 by Hind LBAHY, data scientist engineer at Opteamis: “ Strategy and digital transformation professions rose to 3rd position with an increase of +150% in 1 year. »
The Opteamis Q1 2022 barometer suggests that after a strong recovery, the market tends to balance out despite a digital transformation that continues to accelerate.
