Recruiting in the Tight IT Market

The IT labor market is one of those hard-to-reach spots that demands additional recruiting resources. A recent survey of 1,400 CIOs reported that it now takes an average of 56 days to hire a staff-level IT employee and 87 days to land a new IT manager, well beyond acceptable time-to-fill rates for companies where IT talent is already stretched too thin.

Benchmark Your Organization's Performance for Redeploying and Retiring Employees

Research by APQC, a nonprofit organization internationally recognized as a resource for process and performance improvement, indicates that there is a wide gap in the total cost it takes to redeploy and retire employees. For example, a high-performing organization spends about $22 per employee, compared with $199 per employee in a low-performing organization. This may indicate a significant opportunity to increase productivity at low-performing organizations through process enhancements, technology improvements, or both.

Where does your organization stand? Participate in this
free online "redeploy and retire" benchmarking survey sponsored by Workforce Management, APQC and IBM to see how your key practices measure up to those of top performers. This joint initiative provides participants with a look into how their organization compares in terms of key cost, productivity and efficiency metrics through assessment questions on such processes as managing the promotion and demotion process, managing retirement, managing expatriates and more.

Click here to preview the research questions, view a sample report and submit your data. You'll receive your complimentary benchmarking report with an overview of the practices and processes that top organizations have in place to achieve peak performance.
