Meanwhile, job ads for IT graduates have surged, rising 74 per cent in September. But according to Olivier it doesn't take a large number of ads to make those percentages grow.

"Recruiters don't want to get caught with no talent coming through the ranks, which is a good sign."

The Olivier Group recorded growth every week during September, and it's expecting that to continue into October.

The biggest increases took place in the transport and administration markets, rising by 10.63 and 9.48 per cent respectively, while the worst performers were education and healthcare, down 3.63 and 0.54 per cent respectively.
