So your IT department is down a few people.

Maybe it’s one open role. Maybe it’s four. Either way, your ticket queue is growing, projects are stalling, and your team is burning out—fast.

And the worst part?

“We’re hiring” doesn’t fix it anytime soon.

Why Open IT Roles Hurt More Than You Think

Vacant positions in IT don’t just delay work—they create a ripple effect:

• Tickets take longer to resolve
• Strategic projects get pushed back
• Documentation gets skipped
• Security monitoring slips
• Your current team gets stretched thinner and thinner

Eventually, even your best techs start thinking, “Maybe I should leave too.”

Signs Your Team Is Feeling the Strain

⚠️ Senior staff spending all day on basic support
⚠️ Backlog of unresolved tickets older than your coffee mug
⚠️ New tools rolled out with no documentation or training
⚠️ Frequent workarounds and “we’ll fix it later” Band-Aids
⚠️ Increased downtime or slower incident response

This isn’t just a productivity issue—it’s a risk issue.

Why Hiring Isn’t the Quick Fix We Wish It Was

Filling open IT positions takes time—and money.

Consider:

• 3–6 months to hire specialized roles
• Up to 6 months of ramp-up for complex systems
• $20K+ in recruiting costs
• Time taken away from leadership to interview, onboard, and train

And while all that’s happening, your current team is stuck juggling today’s fires.
