In the fifth of six predictions for IT staffing in 2015, CIO suggests that a robust economy and job market will encourage more full-time employees to seek part-time or freelance work. This trend, they suggest, will repeat similar movement in the previous cycle and reap benefits for both employers, who have the ability to identify and deploy specific needs and talents, and employees, who maximize the return on their particular skill sets. For the sake of argument (and this blog post) let’s assume the predictions are spot on. How does your organization take advantage of the shifting talent pool?

The Shallow End

You’ve won the bidding war and the contract is yours, a hard-fought victory punctuated by the reality that your staff is already stretched thin. You’ve identified the path and need some sharp IT professionals to execute a plan. ICS works every day with consultants across the industry, contractors prepared to supplement your team to see a project through to successful completion. Then they jump back in the pool and swim to the next project.

The Deep End

You’ve grown your business and added staff along the way, profiting from the family-like dynamic in your corporate culture. You see opportunities but need full-time boots on the ground to make the leaps in the right directions. Recruiting the talent you need is the next step, but you’re not seeing the caliber of candidates you’d like to bring into the family.

ICS follows a structured and proven, five-step recruitment process to identify both your needs and suitable prospects, delivering vetted candidates for an interview usually within ten days. When a deal is struck, we work with the new hire to ensure seamless integration within your organization.

Synchronized Swimming

ICS can find the best swimmers in the industry talent pool and synchronize them with your team. Just don’t ask us to wear the swim caps and nostril plugs. That’s just silly.
