I’m sure many of you have heard the expression: it's not what you know, it's who you know. In the Cincinnati and Dayton IT job market, that seems like a true statement. I just read this post on CIO insight and in it, the author is suggesting that now is the time to upgrade your staff, not simply cut your staff.
That seems like a great idea, on the surface, but how do you know, which staff have better technical skills than others? We at STAR BASE can objectively determined technical skills with our Now You Know assessments. More importantly, should technical skills be the sole data point for determining who might stay and who might go?
I would be interested in hearing what you think. How would you go about upgrading your staff?
