IT Jobs Sector overview

In the past few years Northern Ireland has become a leading player in the provision of IT services and software development to the world, as several leading Blue Chip organisations have taken advantage of our highly regarded education system, the quality of the experience of our IT workers, and our favourable geographic position, and invested in software development centres where software is developed, tested and supported for deployment around the globe. We've seen the number, choice and quality of IT jobs in Belfast and Northern Ireland increase dramatically in that time.

This "foreign invasion" has in turn created an upswing in the number of IT vacancies in Northern Ireland's indigenous firms, both technology driven and technology users. Browse the web or talk to people in the industry and there never seems to be a shortage of IT jobs. Belfast is the hub of the NI software and technology industry with more IT jobs to be filled at any given time than other towns and cities. However Derry / Londonderry (or "The Maiden City" to give it a slightly more politically-correct name) is not far behind in the IT vacancies Northern Ireland rankings, followed by the towns around Belfast like Lisburn, Bangor, Newry, Portadown, Ballymena etc.

We are honoured to have been chosen to partner with many of these Foreign Direct Investment (FDI) companies as their Belfast IT Recruitment agency. As one of the leading Belfast IT Recruitment Agencies we are also proud of the service we have provided to the local technology companies, and technology user companies.

There is a wide range of IT jobs in NI, from senior roles like Technical Architects in Belfast, through to IT support jobs in Derry. As regards software development jobs in Belfast, there is a strong emphasis on object oriented skills, with many C++ jobs, C# jobs, Java jobs in Belfast, and throughout Northern Ireland. Banking is a sector that is well represented with a higher proportion of banking IT jobs in Belfast than in many other UK cities outside London.
