Getting the A players

摘要

It was only a few years ago that most employers filled positions indiscriminately, often with high-priced contractors, consultants or permanent employees who weren't necessarily the most qualified candidates. However, inhospitable economic conditions over the past two years have forced many to embrace a new mantra―quality over quantity Most companies no longer have the resources and flexibility to hire people who are not an optimal fit for the job. You must carefully determine which IT people and positions are business-critical, and the retention strategies needed to keep the best and brightest onboard. Now more than ever, it's critical for IT leaders to develop and implement a comprehensive demographic-based recruitment and retention strategy to offer a compelling value proposition to the right employees in the most cost-effective manner.
