Forget what CIOs say. IT organizations keep their tech profile by recruiting geeks.
Last year, forty-one percent of CIOs surveyed by Robert Half said they place greater emphasis today on a job candidate's knowledge of business fundamentals than they did five years ago. Today’s Robert Half study results indicated that there is no hiring downturn for IT, at least not in Q1, and that windows administrators remain the top position CIOs are trying to fill, then network administrators, followed by database managers and firewall administrators.
Who are CIOs kidding? CIOs repeatedly say that they want to be better at their jobs, have more business impact and do a better job of delivering and communicating business value. They want to be aligned with the business, blah, blah, blah. Forget it. With the tech-centric focus of IT hiring -- at all levels, if you review websites like CareerBuilder and Monster -- CIOs may soon go the way of UK’s Boots CIO, gone and not replaced, with the computer services staff now reporting into the COO, and their “IT transformation done."
