Whether you’re a small to mid-sized business or a large company with your own in-house recruiting team, there will likely come a time when you will need to partner with an IT Staffing Company. It doesn’t matter if your needs are for short-term projects or for a full-time resource, every hire has costs associated with them.
According to a recent survey, 49% of employers said they have been negatively affected by a bad hire. A bad hire can be costly and it adversely impacts productivity and morale, just for starters. And, if you’ve been in the market for a technical candidate recently, you might also know that the competition for high quality IT talent is stiffer than ever. The reality is that the supply cannot keep up with the demand. There are many benefits of working with a technical staffing firm, but if you’re still not convinced it is the right move, see if any of these signs ring a bell: You Have a Need for Specialized IT Skills There is a vast range of technical skills that are relevant today and they can be very complex. Because a technical staffing company is exclusively dedicated to IT, they have experience with various roles & niche skills, stay on top of the latest industry trends, and they have the expertise and resources necessary to effectively recruit and evaluate in-demand talent efficiently. You Need a Deeper Pool of Qualified Candidates Advertising your open position will only get you so far. Posting your position on job boards can result in dozens – possibly hundreds - of unqualified applicants. Sifting through piles of applicants takes time, energy and resources. Technical staffing experts have access to a wide range of candidate pools and resources. In addition to networks of active candidates seeking opportunities, experienced recruiters will also tap into their networks of passive candidates. These candidates are often open to new opportunities, but not actively seeking. Furthermore, when you work with an IT staffing company that is dedicated to providing ONLY quality candidates, it allows you the time you need to focus on your other business objectives. Time to Hire You understand that recruiting for positions can be a lengthy process. Did you know that hiring for complex IT positions takes even longer? Data shows that it can take 35 days to hire a software engineer and 28.3 days to hire a senior app developer. You want to be thorough with your hiring, but the longer your hiring process takes, the greater the risk that you will be competing for the best talent with other companies or lose out on the best candidate because they accepted another offer. An experienced technical staffing team has the deep connections and resources necessary to decrease your time-to-hire, while also increasing the quality of the candidates. You Need Expert Advice When your sole focus is industry trends, understanding job requirements, building and nurturing pools of candidates, assessing technical skills and working with clients to understand their needs and make their jobs easier, you tend to develop a very specific level of expertise. If your company is struggling with developing standout job descriptions and finding fully qualified candidates, a full-service technical staffing agency can step up and accelerate your efforts by helping with some of these time-consuming but critical tasks, as well as assisting with the entire hiring process. At Infolob Solutions, our 450 consultants average more than 15 years of industry and technology expertise. We have built a solid reputation as a trusted partner that KNOWS the industry and delivers high quality IT talent. What technical positions can we help you fill? You understand the many benefits of cloud computing - anytime, anywhere connections, increased security, cost efficiencies, productivity gains, quick and agile collaboration, to name a few. You also understand that cloud computing is transforming businesses today and the ultimate shift is inevitable. What you don’t know is what the right approach for your existing ERP system, technology and environment should be. Many enterprise IT departments are now managing applications across multiple environments. This can get complex and requires ongoing evaluation of the mix of on premise, private cloud and public cloud infrastructure. Although the task can be intimidating, ultimately organizations must decide which hosting solution is the best cloud configuration for them. Traditionally, businesses have taken one of three paths. Understanding the different approaches is the first step in determining which option is right for your enterprise: Public Cloud – By now most organizations understand the benefits of using publicly available infrastructure and services. Those benefits include flexibility, a low cost of ownership, significantly reduced upfront costs, and the reduced costs of ongoing IT labor. Plus, the public cloud option is fairly quick and simple to deploy. The potential downside is that it is operated by a third party, is a shared resource, and outages and downtime can occur. Oracle’s public cloud solution is Oracle Cloud, offering a high level of scalability, increased speed and business agility, decreased costs and reduced IT complexity. Private Cloud – A private cloud is developed specifically for a single organization, uses proprietary IT architecture, can be configured to support any application, and is more easily customizable. Private cloud environments can be a good fit for organizations that are highly regulated and subject to data sovereignty laws, or require dedicated infrastructure for compliance. Oracle provides several solutions for organizations looking to deploy a private cloud: Oracle Private Cloud Appliance, Oracle Exadata, Oracle Exalogic, Oracle Supercluster . Hybrid Cloud – 90% of businesses say they plan to pursue a hybrid cloud solution within the year. Often, an enterprise’s architecture is so complex that a hybrid cloud solution – where a blend of private, public or on-premise infrastructures support the enterprise – is the best solution. Hybrid cloud systems can be a good option for large organizations that need to keep critical data behind their firewall, but also want to take advantage of the flexibility and scalability of the public cloud for less sensitive functions. The process doesn’t have to be daunting. The move to the cloud should be done your way and in a way that allows your organization to take advantage of the many benefits. It should also complement the investments you’ve already made in your infrastructure with minimal disruption.
