An agile and nimble IT department is crucial in today’s business environment. Whether you’re an SME or large enterprise, it’s fair to say that the IT department is no longer viewed as a cost to your business but as a key strategic enabler. IT professionals have rightly been thrust into the centre of business strategy – so having the right mix of staff is vital. The success or failure of new business innovations or dealing with sudden increases in demand or dips in capacity is now largely dependent on successful IT delivery.
However, recruiting quality talent that fits into your business culture and price range can be a big ask. New employees come with training costs, liabilities and many overhead expenses. All this in a climate where all businesses are trying to keep headcount under control while boosting productivity.
According to a new survey by techUK, the representative body for the IT industry, there is a shortage of technology and digital skills that is affecting business leaders, owners and workers in some way, every single day. Half of the business leaders surveyed said their biggest struggle was competing with other businesses looking for the same IT skills. Put simply, there is a small talent pool and many businesses are feeling its impact when it comes to growing their business.
This is why more business leaders are turning to flexible resourcing to supplement their needs. As well as keeping overheads down and plugging the skills gap, strategic resourcing solutions offers:
- Specialist skills. Ever changing advances in the tech sector means you will occasionally require the services of experts
- Ad hoc projects and major rollouts. Flexible resourcing minimises the ramp-up time in assembling an additional workforce
- Filling a gap. Backfill employees can ease the strain felt after staff departures, especially during restructuring
- Removal of liabilities. Especially those associated with temporary staff ie EU legislation, IR35
