TEKsystems, a leading provider of IT staffing solutions, IT talent management expertise and IT services, recently released the results of its quarterly IT “Reality Check,” a survey that compares current market conditions on the state of spending, skill needs and impact areas originally reported in the company’s Annual IT Forecast released in December 2014. The most recent survey represents the views of more than 300 IT leaders (CIOs, IT VPs, IT directors, IT hiring managers) as of March 2015.

Overall, industry leader expectations and trends remained relatively consistent throughout Q1. The one exception was in hiring expectations. Both full-time and contingent hiring is expected to increase in Q2 of this year.

This slideshow features highlights from the survey.
