Expensive IT Professionals Pushing SMEs to the Brink: Is There Still Hope?

In a world increasingly dominated by digital technology, a robust IT foundation is crucial for every company. However, for SMEs (Small and Medium-sized Enterprises) in the Netherlands, these times are not just revolutionary, they are also challenging. As of 2023, the market for IT professionals is characterized by a glaring shortage, putting many SMEs in a tight spot.

The Current IT Landscape: More Demand, Less Supply

According to recent figures from staffing agency Yacht, there are as many as five job vacancies for every IT job seeker. Domains such as cybersecurity, development, and data science are experiencing the largest gap between demand and supply. And while larger multinationals and tech companies still have the financial leeway to pay sky-high hourly rates, SMEs are struggling with rising costs and a shortage of quality IT professionals. Many are even forced to put their ambitions on hold.

The Ever-Rising Costs

Prices for Dutch IT professionals continue to soar. Many of them are opting to freelance, with rates ranging from 75 to 110 euros per hour. For an SME, where every euro counts, these rates can be crippling. This jeopardizes the competitive position and even threatens bankruptcy.
