Over half of job ads for eight tech roles including systems consultants, senior technology consultants and senior back-end developers remain unfilled for at least two months, according to recruitment website Indeed.

The hardest to fill role is that of senior data modeller, with two thirds (65%) of job vacancies left unfilled after 60 days. But even employers looking for less niche roles are finding recruitment hard; 56% of ads for senior programmers have not been filled in 60 days, despite a £45,000 salary.
