| Be nice to tech employees. It takes six weeks to get a new one |
February 16, 2007 |
If you lose an information technology (IT) employee it typically takes six weeks to replace him or her, according to a new survey by Robert Half Technology, a provider of IT professionals on a project and full-time basis.
CIOs polled said it takes an average of 48 days to fill a staff-level position and 74 days to bring a new manager on board.
CIOs from more than 270 Canadian companies with 100 or more employees were asked “How long does it take, on average, to fill a full-time staff-level position within your IT department?” and “How long does it take, on average, to fill a full-time manager-level position within your IT department?”
“Hiring managers often are caught in a catch-22: short-staffed but unable to dedicate the necessary time to recruit and evaluate candidates due to extra duties they’ve had to assume,” said Katherine Spencer Lee, executive director of Robert Half Technology. “Employers must balance the need to expedite the
hiring process with the equally pressing need to ensure a new employee is right for the job.”
