What Makes Digital Hiring in Newcastle So Competitive?

A Skills Gap in Strategic Roles

Newcastle has a strong graduate pipeline, but many employers struggle to find mid-senior level specialists in roles like Digital Transformation, AI Development, and Head of Data. These are vital to scaling digital teams effectively.

High Turnover in Fast-Growth Companies

Tech start-ups and scale-ups dominate Newcastle’s digital space, which creates an exciting but competitive hiring environment. Businesses often lose candidates to more agile firms with faster processes or more flexible packages.

Overlap Between Tech and Digital

In many Newcastle businesses, digital roles overlap with IT and development. This creates confusion around job scopes, and often leads to underwhelming hires when the brief isn’t clearly defined.
