IT Industry Rundown – Winter 2019

PSCI ENEWSLETTER

Winter 2019
Welcome!

Welcome back to another edition of PSCI's client newsletter, the IT Industry Rundown!

As you may have noticed throughout the year, each of these publications has centered around a theme. We've addressed women in tech, how best to attract and retain IT talent, and most recently, cybersecurity. As we quickly approach the end of the decade (!!!), however, it's time to set our sights forward.

That's why in this edition, we've turned our attention on how best to prepare for 2020. Learn about the hiring trends that many in the industry are adopting, the skills that are expected to be among the most in-demand, the new devices and styles of application development that are expected to have the biggest impact on IT, and the best ways to position your organization for success in the new year.

You can also find original content, in the form of our blog posts, that detail the most challenging IT roles to fill, why leaving a role open for too long can have detrimental effects, and the reasons to partner with an IT staffing firm when filling full-time positions.

We hope you find these articles useful as you strategize and formulate your plans for the upcoming year. For even more IT industry news and information, connect with us on LinkedIn, Facebook, and Twitter.
