For decades, businesses worldwide have bustled along with only accounting and finance departments; human resources divisions; marketing departments; R&D teams; purchasing departments; production departments, and management teams. However, times have changed enough that corporations in every industry must now add an IT department to this list in order to maintain a competitive edge, protect their data and develop their brand. Unfortunately though, for many companies, this is easier said than done.
Because of high demand, technology professionals expect high salaries; exceptional benefits packages; and ideal working environments. And though most professionals want these things, unlike many professionals, IT professionals don’t have to compromise for less than that in 2015.
There’s very little competition in the field, since so few people really understand how modern technology works; yet everyone demands sophisticated devices, high-tech software, secure data, secure data exchanges, and user-friendly web platforms.
Though it would seem like job candidates would be clamoring to get an IT degree and tripping over one another to come apply for these open positions at your company; the IT field is not a candidate rich market. In fact, most IT professionals are happy with their current jobs — and hefty salary and benefits packages no doubt; and have no interest in finding new work. In fact, according to a recent poll, out of 4800 IT professionals polled, only 9% wanted to get a new job at a different company.
