Recruiting If you have any holes in your team, you'll need a hiring strategy. Deciding what to pay for each position is one of the most difficult aspects of the process. Also, check into job sites like Monster and ComputerJobs to see what similar companies in your area are offering. If viable candidates are in short supply where you're located, consider hiring from outside your region. This may mean relocating new hires to your city, but many companies receive tax breaks for offering relocation packages.
Telecommuting is another option.
Amazing, but hardly surprising. Finally, think about contracting. Also, benefits for full time employees often add around 25 percent to a base salary. As you may know, the job market isn't necessarily on your side, and future prospects aren't much better. According to the U.S. Department of Commerce, the U.S. will need 1.3 million new Information Technology workers by 2006.
