THE INSIDE STORY OF IT CONTRACTING IN JAPAN
2020

Statistics show that 56 per cent of organisations in Japan offered home office/remote work options for employees in June 2020, as compared to only 18 per cent who had these in place when the outbreak first hit in March. This remarkable ramp up in just a few months has been a result of massive IT projects that have been implemented across industries as companies raced to accommodate movement limitations and physical distancing.

Supporting this surge in IT demand amidst an ongoing talent crunch in the sector is Japan’s IT contracting market – a pool of resources that is proving to be increasingly invaluable for companies trying to maintain productivity while conquering uncertainty and headcount freezes. 

These are some of the findings from The Inside Story of Japan, a monthly regional recruitment analysis undertaken by global recruitment expert Hays. Focusing on the IT contracting sector, this month’s analysis covers:

• Challenges and opportunities in Japan’s growing IT contracting sector
