Private sector firms are beginning to recruit IT staff again, after "laying low" for the last 18 months.
This is the view of Adrian Marlowe, chairman of the Association of Recruitment Consultants, who says many employers have recently experienced an increase in IT employment requirements.
He claimed there is "definitely an increase in work of that nature" across a variety of companies.
Mr Marlowe added: "Those organisations that have larger IT systems are taking the view that they need to upgrade, hence the IT requirement in that regard.
"Also, the banks have come alive in the last six months or so. They have been recruiting generally to increase their workforces."
He suggested that financial services organisations are now reconfiguring their IT systems, leading to greater employee demand in this sector.
Earlier this week, the Recruitment and Employment Confederation/KPMG Report on Jobs reported that more businesses are seeking professionals with a high level of IT expertise.
