UK businesses are locked into inflexible and expensive contracts with IT contractors but still struggle to find skilled workers, according to a new survey
Over half of IT directors believe they pay their contract staff too much, according to a new survey backed by consultancy Morse.
But despite this, they are also struggling to find the contract staff to plug the skills gaps in their workforce, the survey found.
Over 70% of the 200 IT directors' survey reported that they could not find the right people to fill the gaps, despite the fact that they are paying more than they would like to.
Morse said that businesses need to negotiate more flexible engagements with their contractors, so that they can scale up and down their usage according to requirements.
Everyone wants to earn more money, get a better job, increase their income. The economic climate may be bad but it's definitley still possible to achieve this in a job, especially with IT jobs. IT Training isn't necessarily the only answer. There are other ways to study and learn new technology to help you make the big money. Job opportunites will be there and reading the right ebooks will help.
