Two years ago, Dialogic conducted its first research on the labour market for ICT professionals (There is no such thing as 'the' ICT professional). In this second edition, we have examined the most important recent developments. This was done by analysing over 1.7 million online vacancies together with our partner Matchcare. The key findings indicate that the distinction between ICT professionals and other professions is becoming increasingly blurred. ICT professionals are expected to have broader skills, while other professions are requiring more ICT skills. However, the greatest demand is still for 'primary ICT skills', especially the ability to develop applications. The shortage of software developers, which was already significant at the time of the previous edition, has only increased further. The report will soon be available for download on the website of Nederland ICT and on our own website.
