According to Kevin Knaul, executive vice president of Hudson IT & Telecommunications North America, corporate IT departments are shrinking and will continue to do so over the next few years. Companies will be boosting their IT investments, however, with CIOs increasingly filling internal positions with project managers and business analysts, two critical roles that can't be outsourced. Knaul expects that few people will be able to submit a resume to a company and land a job. Instead, they will turn to firms that specialize in placing skilled IT talent. Long-term employment with a single company is going to be a thing of the past, he says. While the work will be there, professionals may be placed on multiple projects with a number of employers over the course of a relatively short period of time. Jamie Eckle spoke to Knaul about what the future may hold.
