What to do if the private sector grabs your best technical people?

According to the Reed IT Job Index, IT job opportunities jumped by 23 percent year-on-year in December. It's safe to assume that most of these are in the private sector. So what can you do if some of your best people are tempted away to the bright lights (and high salaries) of the commercial world?

I suggest you give Socitm People a call. We're a new service which builds on Socitm Consulting's long track record in providing interim managers (particularly Heads of IT), project managers and technical people who understand local public services and have the right skills. Examples of what we can provide include:

    • a senior interim manager to refocus your ICT service
    • a temporary replacement for a technical specialist
    • a project manager to complete a specific programme
    • cover for long-term sickness or maternity/paternity leave

Our service is simple to use, cost-effective and totally focused on local public service providers. If you would like to discuss your requirements in confidence, please reply to this email with your contact details or call me on 0845 241 2775.
