There is a
huge demand for skilled workers in the Information Technology sector around the
world and day by day it is increasing. According to a recent survey, around 42
percent of companies are struggling hard to find suitable employees. For this
challenge to find an IT worker, 20 percent of the companies dismissed the
position of IT officer.
The
results of the survey, published by Mercer Mettl, a leading online evaluation
platform, were released July 2019 where they lacked the proper knowledge and
proper methodology to evaluate the various processes involved in hiring skilled
personnel.
Stacey
Carroll, Principal Consultant at Payscale says,
Competing for tech talent never gets easier, nor is it a perfect mathematical equation. Instead it’s about understanding your market, knowing what your current and prospective employees are looking for, and doing your best to create the environment that attracts the right workers to your company.
According
to a study titled Tech Hearing and Technology Adaptation Trend 2019, the budget
seems to be a major factor for IT staff in addition to technology staff. Twenty
percent of organizations consider budget matters to the IT worker.
Siddhartha
Gupta, CEO of Mercer Mettl said that most companies are now leaning towards
automation. They are now facing the challenge of hiring and retaining skilled IT
workers. The demand and supply of technical staff has made a huge difference.
According
to the survey, 12 percent of companies do not have a framework for evaluating
IT staff. In 21% of cases, the IT professional is required to appear
face-to-face or direct interview. So far, only 18 percent of the institutions are
using AI (Artificial Intelligence) technology to get their primary job
selection.
