  • CPL Technology Salary Guide 2014
    teCHnoloGy Cpl’s Technology team were delighted to receive the NRF Best in Practice IT & Telecoms 2013 in recognition of our achievements and expertise in this sector. We have seen the IT market expand at pace over the last year and Ireland continues to be a country of choice for software professionals and the majority of software companies looking to hire IT talent. There has been a marked increase in the demand for web application engineers, JavaScript, PHP, Python and Ruby engineers. iOs and Android developers are also consistently in demand on both a permanent and contract basis. The area of Infrastructure Engineering and Technical Support continues to see strong demand for Linux Engineers, in particular DevOps Engineers. There has also been an increase in companies requiring skill sets such as Cyber Security, Virtualization and Storage Engineering and high-end IP/Data Network Engineering. Ireland’s strategic location has encouraged increasing levels of investment in cloud computing, ‘Big Data’ analytics and analytical centres. IT Project Managers are now expected to bring an array of skills on-board, including Data Analysis, Business Intelligence prowess, SDLC and/or Business Analysis skills. Overall salaries have remained strong; as an example we have seen a 10 – 15% increase in salaries at the mid-level. Due to increasing competition for the best candidates, salaries and daily rates are open to negotiation for candidates with the “in demand” skills. Data warehousing, business intelligence and DBA professionals are in strong demand and have their choice of opportunities on the market. In addition, the telecommunications sector has continued to expand despite the scarcity of highly skilled candidates, which has created further competition between larger organisations for the best talent.
