Forecast for 2014: Looking Beyond Tech Skills When Hiring IT Workers
Although a candidate’s technology skills may get her/him in the door for an interview, what else are employers seeking?
We look for applicants with interpersonal skills. People who can communicate and collaborate with business users are more effective and efficient in the workplace. They are able to work with many different personalities and entities within the organization. In addition, IT professionals with basic knowledge of other business disciplines such as marketing, sales and finance make themselves a more appealing candidate.
