Companies across Australia are in a battle to hire and retain the best IT talent in the market.

It is imperative that Senior Managers and HR professionals adopt a talent strategy that is tailored for high performing IT professionals. A generic, one size-fits-all talent strategy is an outdated approach of the past.

Contino invited around 300 IT professionals across Australia to answer 15 questions that were designed to help industry leaders understand tech talent at a deeper level.

Some key areas within the survey include: reasons for joining or leaving an organisation, key drivers that make top tech talent happy or unhappy in their roles.

The survey respondents came from a range of industries, age groups, and career levels, from Graduates to Lead Engineers all the way through to Heads-of and C-Levels.
