Despite the ICT industry's role in developing technologies that enable people with disabilities to be accommodated in workplaces, the industry itself still discriminates against such people and is thus ignoring a large and potentially valuable pool of talent, a new report claims.
It now takes more than 26 days to hire a new ICT worker - six days longer than a year ago. And where 12 months ago there were on average 7.7 candidates lined up for each position on offer, there are now just 6.8 candidates. Smart candidates should soon be able to name their own price.
