A few weeks ago I met with a client that was looking for some business analysts to help them with business application development. One of our Cincinnati IT consultants just got his CBAP and he was going to be available in the right time frame, so I started to think this would be a perfect fit. While there are thousands of business analysts around, there are less than 500 CBAPs in the world and we are fortunate enough to have one on our IT staff.
This IT staffing position should be a slam-dunk, right? Wrong! The client also wanted very specific industry experience. While our consultant has industry experience, it was not in the right area. Fortunately we were able to recruit business analysts with the needed skills. As Michael points out as part of this post, “clients are very specific on what they need and they are unwilling to pay for “learning curves.” Pretty much seems like we have become a “risk adverse” society.
