Businesses are not finding as many qualified IT people as they need.
Often IT employees will leave within a year for better pay, creating a drag on HR and company resources. ROI on this hire is often negative.
Hiring and recruiting is expensive, and there is pain in doing it again every year for the same position.
Most businesses do not have good training programs for new IT hires so they rely on shadowing and OJT. One of new hires biggest complaints is the lack of good training.
Many companies think that salaried employees are cheaper and more loyal than contractors. This is absolutely not the case! IT employees jump ship all the time. Contractors are obligated to stay until the contract is complete.
Finding additional contractors is ICM's responsibility, not your HR department. ICM will work with our customer so the contractor is no more expensive than a salaried employee.
Aging workforce has knowledge that needs to be transferred to younger workers. There is not an adequate plan in place to pass this knowledge along.
ICM takes a non-traditional approach by working with Veteran groups and other professionals to turn them into IT contractors.
ICM mentors students until they have a hands-on mastery of the topic. The key to mastery is lots of hands-on lab exercises and access to ICM experts. As a result, ICM candidates can actually do the work.
ICM Contractors are productive much sooner than new hires because they are trained well before they show up for their first day of work.
ICM Contractors receive continual training after the start of the contract based on customer's input, all at ICM's expense.
Continuing education is what all IT people want. ICM includes that as part of our contracts.
Contractors are rarely poached away and will stay at least to the end of the contract period. If a contractor leaves, it is ICM's responsibility to have a good replacement rather than the business.
Businesses save all the expense associated with hiring and recruiting and the pain of doing it again every year for the same position due to poaching.
