Public sector IT workers to 'seek work in private sector'

There will be a major influx of public sector IT workers looking for employee benefits in the private sector, a leading job site has underlined.
Richard Nott, website director at CWJobs.co.uk, made his comments following research by recruiter Greythorn. The organisation discovered that IT jobs will reach pre-recession levels by Christmas, as 21,400 positions are created across the UK's telecoms sector in the first three quarters of 2010.
Mr Nott, representing his own specialist IT recruitment website, said of the employment migration: "That's a good thing for private sector companies, because they are going to get people that are highly skilled."
He continued: "Although it's bad on the one hand because they're losing their jobs, there will be opportunities for those people if they're willing to attack the market, attack the private sector, and find jobs there."
Maggie Berry, managing director of womenintechnology.co.uk, recently claimed that the current generation of women may consider IT as a career in higher numbers because they are so used to using it on a day-to-day basis.
