Tech is setting the pace for hiring. The latest Experis Tech Talent Outlook shows a+51% Net Employment Outlook for Tech & IT in Q3 2026 − the strongest outlook across all sectors.
We surveyed 4,497 Tech & IT Services employers across 42 countries, including 228 in the UK, to understand hiring plans for the quarter ahead.
Despite rapid innovation, one thing hasn’t changed: people are the competitive edge. Yet 73% of UK employers say they can’t find the skilled talent they need. Demand is rising fast, with hiring expectations up 7 percentage points quarter-on-quarter and 4 points year-on-year.
