Skills Shortage
With a major world-wide shortage of experienced IT professionals, our task of sourcing and identifying the best talent is
certainly a difficult one. Many companies and governments are currently addressing this skills shortage by a reappraisal of both recruitment strategies and immigration policies.
Forrester Research (‘Peopling Europe’s eT Strategies’ – Nov 1999) surveyed IT leaders and HR specialists among 36 major companies
in Europe including Ariba, BroadVision, PricewaterhouseCoopers, Cap Gemini and SAP AG. Not surprisingly, the majority highlighted a shortage of e-Commerce expertise, ERP implementation skills and IT managers with strong
business orientation. Nearly two thirds experienced project delays or problems to difficulties in resourcing IT talent.
Through the provision of an innovative sourcing and recruitment service dedicated to the recruitment of senior IT professionals,
IT Architects is well placed to play an important role in helping bridge the technology skills gap.
