Malgré la crise, le recrutement de professionnels en informatique montre toujours des signes de stabilité et de
croissance pour l’avenir. Les résultats montrent que même si le 2ème trimestre est marqué par une croissance négative en ce qui concerne le nombre de postes risponibles, l’industrie prévoit tout de même un manque d’informaticiens sur le marché. A cela s’ajoutent les difficultés que l’industrie des TIC connaît pour attirer de nouveaux professionnels vers ce secteur, ce que tentent de faire le gouvernement belge et les organismes industriels locaux. Il est également important que les entreprises participent à l’amélioration de l’image du
secteur afin d’attirer les meilleurs talents dans cette industrie.
Despite the economic downturn, Belgium as a market for IT recruitment is still showing several positive signs for stability and future growth. The research findings show that whilst Q2 will show negative growth in job
vacancies, the industry still foresees a significant shortage of IT professionals in the market. In addition to this the ICT industry is also lacking appeal to younger professionals entering the workforce, which is something local industry bodies and the government is trying to improve. As a result it is important for clients to continue to actively improve their employer brand and work hard to attract the best talent in the industry.

How Race, Age and Gender Shape Attitudes Towards Mental HealthThinkNow
Mental health has been in the news quite a bit lately. Dozens of U.S. states are currently suing Meta for contributing to the youth mental health crisis by inserting addictive features into their products, while the U.S. Surgeon General is touring the nation to bring awareness to the growing epidemic of loneliness and isolation. The country has endured periods of low national morale, such as in the 1970s when high inflation and the energy crisis worsened public sentiment following the Vietnam War. The current mood, however, feels different. Gallup recently reported that national mental health is at an all-time low, with few bright spots to lift spirits.
To better understand how Americans are feeling and their attitudes towards mental health in general, ThinkNow conducted a nationally representative quantitative survey of 1,500 respondents and found some interesting differences among ethnic, age and gender groups.
Technology
For example, 52% agree that technology and social media have a negative impact on mental health, but when broken out by race, 61% of Whites felt technology had a negative effect, and only 48% of Hispanics thought it did.
While technology has helped us keep in touch with friends and family in faraway places, it appears to have degraded our ability to connect in person. Staying connected online is a double-edged sword since the same news feed that brings us pictures of the grandkids and fluffy kittens also feeds us news about the wars in Israel and Ukraine, the dysfunction in Washington, the latest mass shooting and the climate crisis.
Hispanics may have a built-in defense against the isolation technology breeds, owing to their large, multigenerational households, strong social support systems, and tendency to use social media to stay connected with relatives abroad.
Age and Gender
When asked how individuals rate their mental health, men rate it higher than women by 11 percentage points, and Baby Boomers rank it highest at 83%, saying it’s good or excellent vs. 57% of Gen Z saying the same.
Gen Z spends the most amount of time on social media, so the notion that social media negatively affects mental health appears to be correlated. Unfortunately, Gen Z is also the generation that’s least comfortable discussing mental health concerns with healthcare professionals. Only 40% of them state they’re comfortable discussing their issues with a professional compared to 60% of Millennials and 65% of Boomers.
Race Affects Attitudes
As seen in previous research conducted by ThinkNow, Asian Americans lag other groups when it comes to awareness of mental health issues. Twenty-four percent of Asian Americans believe that having a mental health issue is a sign of weakness compared to the 16% average for all groups. Asians are also considerably less likely to be aware of mental health services in their communities (42% vs. 55%) and most likely to seek out information on social media (51% vs. 35%).
AI Trends in Creative Operations 2024 by Artwork Flow.pdfmarketingartwork
Creative operations teams expect increased AI use in 2024. Currently, over half of tasks are not AI-enabled, but this is expected to decrease in the coming year. ChatGPT is the most popular AI tool currently. Business leaders are more actively exploring AI benefits than individual contributors. Most respondents do not believe AI will impact workforce size in 2024. However, some inhibitions still exist around AI accuracy and lack of understanding. Creatives primarily want to use AI to save time on mundane tasks and boost productivity.

Organizational culture includes values, norms, systems, symbols, language, assumptions, beliefs, and habits that influence employee behaviors and how people interpret those behaviors. It is important because culture can help or hinder a company's success. Some key aspects of Netflix's culture that help it achieve results include hiring smartly so every position has stars, focusing on attitude over just aptitude, and having a strict policy against peacocks, whiners, and jerks.

Google's Just Not That Into You: Understanding Core Updates & Search IntentLily Ray
1. Core updates from Google periodically change how its algorithms assess and rank websites and pages. This can impact rankings through shifts in user intent, site quality issues being caught up to, world events influencing queries, and overhauls to search like the E-A-T framework.
2. There are many possible user intents beyond just transactional, navigational and informational. Identifying intent shifts is important during core updates. Sites may need to optimize for new intents through different content types and sections.
3. Responding effectively to core updates requires analyzing "before and after" data to understand changes, identifying new intents or page types, and ensuring content matches appropriate intents across video, images, knowledge graphs and more.

1. The State Of The Netherlands
IT Recruitment Market
www.ITjobboard.nl
T: + 31 (0)20 522 2304
2. Report Background
The purpose of the report is to summarise the current state of the IT recruitment market in The Netherlands.
This report has been created through analysis of current and historical IT vacancies on the IT Job Board.nl site
as well as primary research gathered through candidate surveys and secondary research available online.
This report covers the following topics;
• The IT Market in The Netherlands
• Demand for IT Professionals in The Netherlands including;
- Vacancy trends
- Demand by location & skill
- Future Skill Predictions
• Other key IT recruitment trends
• Companies Recruiting in The Netherlands
• Future Challenges For The Dutch IT Recruitment Industry
1.0 The IT Market in The Netherlands
According to a report released by heliviwe.nl in April 2009, the overall ICT market in The Netherlands grew by
2.7% in 2008 and is expected to grow by 1.1% in 2009. When comparing 2008 statistics with the European
ICT market, which grew by 3%, The Netherlands accomplished solid growth for the last financial year.
However in 2009, the European ICT sector is expected to grow by 2.2%, whilst The Netherlands will only
grow by 1.1% - demonstrating the effect of the economic climate on the sector. Refer to the industry
growth by sub sector table below for more information on sector growth.
Despite limited growth in 2009, the total value of the ICT industry in The Netherlands equates to 30.9
billion Euros in 2008, thus is a significant contributor to The Netherlands GDP. However it isn’t just the size
of the market that demonstrates The Netherlands’ strength in the ICT sector. In the latest Global Information
Technology Report 2008-2009, The Netherlands was ranked 9th in the world when it comes to networked
readiness. This demonstrates The Netherlands’ active investment and effective use of technology within the
political, social and economic system.
Industry Growth By Sub Sector rowth By Sub-Sector

Telecom -0.2 -0.2 (eito.com) -0.2 1.5%
3. 2.0 Demand for IT Professionals in The Netherlands
2.1 IT Vacancy Trends
Despite the recession the number of IT jobs offered in The Netherlands has demonstrated a degree of
resilience when compared to other European markets. In March 2009, The Netherlands saw a 27% decline
in the number of vacancies advertised online, whilst in the UK the decline was 38%. That said there has
been further contraction in April and May in the number of IT jobs on offer year on year which will result in a
larger decline year on year for Q2 of 2009.
Although the statistics reveal short term decline, The Netherlands ICT sector is still faced with a shortage of
ICT professionals, which is depicted below;
2008 2010 2012
Shortage of ICT Professionals 5,958 8,137 11,714
Total No of Professionals Employed In ICT 152,008 160,639 169,761
According to the ‘Marktmonitor 2008’ report The Netherlands will be faced with a shortage of 11,700 IT
professionals by 2012. This issue will leave many companies with no solution but to relocate global talent to
fill immediate positions. However as many organisations in The Netherlands prefer to recruit local talent,
local recruitment agencies and job boards will play a vital role in the recruitment process.
2.2 Demand By Location
Diagram 1 demonstrates the demand for IT professionals in The Netherlands by region.
As depicted in diagram 1, the majority of IT
opportunities are concentrated in the regions that
are home to Amsterdam, Rotterdam, The Hague &
Utrecht, known as the Randstad area.
The Randstad is typically known as an economic hub
home to many industries such as technology, gas &
oil, manufacturing, communications, finance,
business services, trade and logistics.
In addition there is also a significant portion of IT
opportunities in North Brabant. This region and
its major cities Eindhoven and Den Bosch are also
known for industries covering technology, logistics,
electronics and chemicals.
As the North of the country is characterised by
agriculture and energy, The Northern Netherlands
region only accounts for 0.8% of IT jobs.
Whilst the South, is known for being manufacturing
and tourism thus does not provide a high concentra-
tion of IT jobs.

demand for ICT professionals with software positions such as developers, testers, business analysts and
project managers equating to 43% of jobs onsite alone.
From the jobs on site statistics it is however obvious that the recession is having an impact on the demand for
IT professionals within the software market. In April 2009, the overall proportion of developer and project
manager roles onsite decreased by 3% and 5% respectively. However there is some positive news for the
software sector as testing roles over the same period represented a higher portion of jobs on site -
demonstrating steady demand for testing professionals year on year. It is although important to note that the
demand for testing continues to be strong as software projects commissioned in 2008 are moving towards
completion thus require vigorous testing. As a result the decrease in demand for developers and project
managers signals fewer software investments in 2009 which will possibly have a knock on effect for testing
positions in 2010.
Networking is another skill in decline which is a direct result of IT departments cutting back on hardware
during the recession.
It is also interesting to note that whilst other roles are experiencing decline in the downturn, professionals
such as those with IT security experience are increasing in demand. Security professionals are increasingly
sought after as organisations need to contend with new challenges posed by the Web 2.0 world and wireless
devices and new security risks evolving from Cloud Computing and SaaS.
Future Skill Predictions
Despite the current/historical skills in demand there are several key sectors and skills that IT Job Board believe
will be in high demand for 2009 and 2010 which both recruiters and IT professionals to be aware of.
According to a global survey conducted by Computerworld, the 9 skills that will be in demand in 2009 and
beyond are;
1. Help Desk/Technical Support
2. Programming/Application Development
3. Project Management
4. Networking
5. Business Intelligence
6. Security
7. Web 2.0
8. Data Center
9. Telecommunications
5. On the programming and development front it is important to note that developers with experience in open
source will also increase in demand – as it is believed that 40% of IT jobs will be linked with open source by
2020.
In addition, to the skills identified by ComputerWeek, Antal International News sees Infrastructure Analysts
as well as Business Analyst & Consultants to be in high demand both now and in the future within The
Netherlands ICT sector. Infrastructure specialists in particular are is increasing in importance because of the
growing trend towards SaaS and SOA (Service Oriented Architecture) as well as ‘Green Computing’.
2.4 Other key IT recruitment trends
Contact vs Permanent Demand
Inline with popular belief that contract IT roles increase in demand during the recession, IT Job Board.nl
statistics demonstrate this very different scenario. In April 2008 the split between contract and permanent
positions on IT Job Board site in The Netherlands was 90% of roles were permanent and 10% were contract.
In April 2009 however the ratio of permanent jobs declined to 75% with contract now representing 25%.
3.0 Candidate Market Confidence
The IT Job Board conducted research in May 2009 to determine how candidates felt the current market was
affecting their employment opportunities. Of the 175 respondents, 93% stated that the current economic
climate was making the process of looking for a job more difficult. As a result 57% of candidates stated
that they have become less selective in their job search. In particular 56% of those who are becoming less
selective stated that they would consider both permanent and contract roles whilst 24% stated they are
willing to accept a lower salary.
It is also important to note that as the market is now more favourable to attract high calibre candidates,
organisations that consider recruiting in the near future could benefit from the low competition in the
market for highly skilled professionals.
As a result of market conditions, many IT professionals are therefore going the extra mile to improve their
employability in the recession. In particular 33% are spending more time gathering knowledge about IT
industry trends whilst an additional 35% are investing in gaining additional IT qualifications.
4.0 Companies appetite for IT recruitment in The Netherlands
In March, IT Job Board.nl conducted research to determine the demand for IT recruitment of 50 Dutch
companies in 2009.
When asked if companies were planning to recruit IT professionals in 2009, 56.2% of employers stated they
were anticipating to recruit. Moreover, 81.3% of respondents in the survey stated in 2009 they would make
the same investment or more in new IT projects compared with 2008. This figure demonstrates that the IT
sector should still have a relatively strong year compared to many other industry sectors as organisations
understand the value of IT projects to maintain competitive advantage in their respective marketplace.
6. 5.0 Future Challenges For The Netherlands IT Recruitment Industry
A report published by Gartner (news.antal.com) suggests there is a risk of staff shortages in the IT industry
with the coming generation showing little interest in the ICT because of its perceived bad reputation for hard
work and austerity. Over the past 7 years, this has resulted in a decline in the number of students enrolling in
ICT studies in The Netherlands. In 2008 however, the number of new 1st year university students has grown
by 9.4% and numbers enrolling in HBO courses increased by 6.2%. Despite the short-term uplift, this will
remain a key issue for the ICT sector for years to come. As a result at the end of 2009, the ICT office will
commence an action program which will improve the perception of the industry to increase the number of
enrolments in ICT courses.
Conclusion & Feedback
Despite the economic downturn, The Netherlands as a market for IT recruitment is still showing several
positive signs for future growth. The research findings show that whilst Q2 will show negative growth in job
vacancies, the industry still foresees a significant shortage of IT professionals in the market. In addition to this
the ICT industry is also lacking appeal to younger professionals entering the workforce, which is something
local industry bodies are trying to improve. As a result, it is important for clients to continue to actively
improve their employer brand and work hard to attract the best talent in the industry.
