IT recruitment firm Be-IT is projecting revenues of £14 million this year after a strong start to the year.
The Glasgow-based company said it is confident it will hit revenue growth of 20 per cent on 2020 levels, as the sector sees increased activity.
The firm said it “moved quickly to secure the best talent to satisfy the surge in demand” for digital transformation skills across all business sectors, filling 35 to 40 new roles a month.
Increasing digitalisation in business and public services, cyber protection, Artificial Intelligence, robotics and Big Data continue to have a big impact on the Scottish and UK marketplace, Be-IT said.
The company is to significantly expand its own team in the coming months.

Nikola Kelly, managing director, said: “Despite the challenges of the last year we were able to remain in profit.
“The beginning for 2021 has been hugely encouraging and we are confident of getting revenue to the £14m mark for the year.
“There has been a 50% increase in demand for contract staff, and the market is buoyant overall.”
Be-IT, which has over 200 buying clients across the UK, said a reshuffle of the leadership team has created four new director roles, to allow greater focus on delivering for clients and candidates.
Why are you making commenting on The Herald only available to subscribers?
It should have been a safe space for informed debate, somewhere for readers to discuss issues around the biggest stories of the day, but all too often the below the line comments on most websites have become bogged down by off-topic discussions and abuse.
heraldscotland.com is tackling this problem by allowing only subscribers to comment.
We are doing this to improve the experience for our loyal readers and we believe it will reduce the ability of trolls and troublemakers, who occasionally find their way onto our site, to abuse our journalists and readers. We also hope it will help the comments section fulfil its promise as a part of Scotland's conversation with itself.
We are lucky at The Herald. We are read by an informed, educated readership who can add their knowledge and insights to our stories.
That is invaluable.
We are making the subscriber-only change to support our valued readers, who tell us they don't want the site cluttered up with irrelevant comments, untruths and abuse.
In the past, the journalist’s job was to collect and distribute information to the audience. Technology means that readers can shape a discussion. We look forward to hearing from you on heraldscotland.com
