Staffing IT:
Why is it So Difficult to Find Good Talent?

Technology evolves at a feverish pace that’s much faster than most areas of business.

 

While business strategy may evolve on a yearly basis, technological strategies can change month to month– and companies are struggling to keep pace.

 

In the digital economy, access to information is a key competitive component and can set your company apart.

 

Maintaining security from cyber threats while instilling a competitive edge is a modern business need made even more urgent by the IT talent shortage.

 

Finding the expert talent to achieve these goals can feel like a somewhat impossible task. Contract staffing bypasses full-time hire challenges by providing companies with immediate, experienced IT professionals.

 

Why Contract Staffing is the New IT
Recruitment Model

IT is at a high need in the United States, as it is worldwide. This has two major implications for traditional IT recruitment models:

 

1.    Passive recruitment strategies are essential to reaching top talent.

 

Specialized talent is often already employed and compensated well, and few of these employed individuals are actively looking to change jobs. Savvy businesses that want to hire specialized talent continue to actively recruit this talent. This process can be costly and take a fair amount of time, inhibiting the need to address immediate staffing requirements and gaps.

 

2.    Job boards are not the best place to find in-demand talent.

Since the most top talent is already employed, this means individuals who are actively applying for positions on job boards typically lack the most desired qualifications or experience. While it’s always possible to find a perfect candidate, job board postings are more likely to yield those who don’t perfectly fit the needs due to lack of experience or skills. Hiring managers spends hours sorting through hundreds of online applications only to find that very few come close to meeting the desired criteria.

Rather than getting a less-than-perfect hire or keeping a position unfilled, today’s forward-thinking companies are choosing a new option: contract talent.

Contract talent solves immediate staffing issues while providing sought-after flexibility for both employers  and candidates. Companies gain access to high-level skills that might otherwise be not available, minimize risk of hiring a less-than-optimal candidate, and deftly manage their department's changing needs– three essentials to maintaining a competitive edge in today’s rapidly changing marketplace.

 

How Contract Staffing Your IT Department Can Work for You:

 

Flexible solutions

Teams. IT is naturally a project-centric field: teams are managing software and systems upgrades, overseeing a migration, or developing a new platform with a pre-determined end date. With contract staffing, companies can quickly expand their core teams without the financial burden of onboarding full-time hires. Teams can be scaled up or down to meet evolving project needs, such as technical developers for early-stages and then quality assurance and test engineers in later stages.

Consulting.
A contract-staffing model is ideal for companies with ongoing needs that vary as often as month-to-month.

Contract-to-hire placements.
While you can choose top talent, top talent can often afford to be choosy. By offering contact options, this allows those who wish to work on a more temporary basis to take on the jobs that best suit them. If they find the company is a fit (and vice versa) a permanent offer can be made thus minimizing risk of a bad hire upfront.

Immediate start dates.
Hiring contract staff is a quick and seamless process. SGP can secure candidates that meet your needs, present them to you and let you decide. Within days of making your decision, new staff can be working.

Avoid over-staffing.
Keeping lean is a corporate mandate and hiring via contact staffing is essential for helping a company maintain those mandates.

Establish culture fit.
This allows both the company and the candidate to take a "test drive" to determine if it's a good fit for each. This makes the process of hiring more secure; less risk of having to let go a bad hire or take on a less-than-desirable hire for an unlimited time.

Access the latest skills and broad experience.
Contractors usually have top-notch talent. Their ability to fit with different clients and their needs keeps their skills fresh and up-to-date.

 

How to Get Started -
It's Easier Than You Might Think

Savvy organizations are using contractors.

 

1. Evaluate needs.

We will help you get the candidate that is best for you, whether it's long-term or a one-time projects.

2. Be realistic about costs.
While contractors may cost more per hour than full-time employees, remember what you're not paying for:  benefits, HR-payroll. Contractor flexibility means your company only pays for talent when it’s needed.

3. Determine the right structure.
Temporary, short-term, long-term, contract to permanent...all choices within your grasp as you use contractors.

4. Partner with the right recruiting agency.
Working with skilled professionals who know staffing and contract staffing inside out, is key. SGP has been a top industry staffer for major Fortune 500 companies for over 10 years. Let us help you work the contract staffing program into your needs.
