IT hiring is hard right now.
- Too few qualified applicants
- Too many competing offers
- Too much pressure on your remaining staff
But here’s the real danger: open positions don’t just create gaps—they stall growth.
The Domino Effect of Unfilled IT Roles
One role goes unfilled.
Another team member leaves.
A key project gets pushed back.
Suddenly, your entire roadmap starts slipping.
Whether it’s a network engineer, VDI admin, or support technician, open IT roles don’t sit quietly—they quietly slow everything down.
Symptoms of a Stalled IT Department
🔁 Ticket volume keeps climbing
📉 Uptime and performance metrics slip
🚫 New initiatives are paused “until we get more help”
💬 End users stop reporting issues—they don’t expect results
🧯 Your team is stuck in break/fix mode instead of strategy
Sound familiar? You’re not alone.
Why the IT Hiring Market Feels So Stuck
Even great companies are struggling to hire because:
- The best candidates want remote or flexible work
- Specialized roles (Citrix, security, compliance) are in high demand
- Internal HR teams don’t always know how to vet tech talent
- Competing with tech giants for top talent is nearly impossible
In short? Your projects are on pause because the market is moving slower than your goals.
