Techies happy to work for small firms despite recession
The attraction of working for a small company has not been diminished for technical staff despite the belief many hold that SMEs are suffering most in the downturn.
According to figures from the IT Job Board, 60% of technical staff think that small firms are vulnerable in the current economy, but 53% said that it had not put them off applying for roles in smaller companies.

Alex Farrell, managing director of The IT Job Board, said that there was still an open mind from technical applicants which was encouraging.
