Good year for IT Contractors

Expect 2010 to be a good year for technology contractors, consultants and outsourcing companies. Over 40 percent of CIOs in a Robert Half Technology survey say their departments are understaffed. While IT budgets will increase in 2010, full-time jobs with benefits are expected to be harder to come by in the first quarter.

This year should be a good one for technology contractors, consultants and outsourcing companies. Over 40 percent of CIOs polled in a Robert Half Technology survey said their departments are understaffed, and while IT budgets should increase in 2010, full-time jobs with benefits are expected to be harder to come by in the first quarter.

One in four CIOs surveyed said they were understaffed, according to a December 2009 report from Robert Half Technology. The company polled over 1,400 CIOs who work for companies with a minimum of 100 employees and found that 10 percent said their departments were "very understaffed," while 33 percent said they were "somewhat understaffed." The largest percentage of CIOs surveyed, 53 percent, said their departments were "appropriately staffed," while a tiny fraction—3 percent—chose "somewhat overstaffed."
