UK tech consultancies face a hidden workforce issue with many skilled consultants underused, affecting margins and national productivity ahead of the Autumn Budget. #TechConsulting#WorkforceCrisis#AutumnBudget https://t.co/qzSWxfMFtd
Finance leaders: bench time costs hit twice - salaries for idle consultants and fees for recruiters chasing skills already out there.
£3.06bn lost across the UK tech sector shows this is a visibility problem, not an efficiency one.

The UK tech sector doesn’t lack skills. It lacks distribution.
@techday_uk reports £3.06 billion lost each year as consultants sit idle while others hunt for the same skills.
That isn’t a talent gap. It’s broken infrastructure.

Tomorrow, a consultancy will pay £18k for a DevOps engineer.
Fifteen miles away, another DevOps engineer sits idle.
This isn’t a market failure. It’s an information failure.
£3.06bn lost yearly while skills sit unused nearby.
The Autumn Budget will talk about a skills shortage. The issue is visibility. Skills exist. 20% of IT talent sits idle while work piles up elsewhere.

Genuine question for IT consultancy leaders:
If a specialist sat idle and another consultancy needed them for three months, would you let them go?
Most say no. Worried about losing them. But you lose them anyway through boredom and recruiters.
What if sharing them kept them?
Is your bench holding someone's solution?

Quick question for IT consultancy leaders:
Would you rather pay:
→ £52,500 per placement to recruiters
→ £4,200 per year for unlimited placements
