Technology professionals working on m-commerce tools for smartphones and tablets are being

paid significantly more than their contemporaries who are employed in traditional e-commerce roles, new research suggests. According to research by recruitment firm, ReThink, the rush to enhance mobile retail sites combined with the limited supply of qualified and experienced contractors in this field is pushing up pay.

And it only sets to grow further as consumers are more and more looking to mobile technology as an easy way to make payment.

Iain Blair, Director at ReThink, said: “We are seeing a large wave of work as retailers beef up their mobile retailing offerings. “They see m-commerce as an exciting new sales avenue and are more aware than ever of the potential boom in revenue from giving customers a highly customised and slick mobile browsing experience.

“Customers are no longer just using these tools to find their nearest store or check the opening and closing times. They are increasingly expecting to see 360 degree product views, to place orders internationally, to double check a high street store has the right size and colour of a design of shoes – and all these require extensive expenditure in IT.

“This is now a top priority for all the major retailers. Most see it as far more critical than more traditional areas of spend, such as investment in store payment systems or upgrading store fittings.”
