Welcome to the Spring 2025 edition of Devshore Partners’ UK IT Job Market Analysis, part of our twice-yearly insights series (next edition due Fall 2025). This report provides a comprehensive overview of current trends in the UK’s tech employment landscape, updated with the latest data and observations from Q1–Q2 2025. As a consulting and delivery firm specializing in remote IT teams and offshore development centres, Devshore Partners curates these insights to help our clients and partners navigate the evolving talent market. In this Spring 2025 report, we examine five key areas: an analysis of IT job postings by role and skills, salary and contractor rate benchmarks, the impact of AI on hiring, the ongoing IT talent shortage and market trajectory, and legal considerations when hiring remote IT resources from Asia. The goal is to equip UK business leaders and hiring managers with up-to-date knowledge to inform their talent strategies in the coming months.
