Temporary employment in IT: a common practice

In the IT industry, employee leasing has become a common practice that enables companies to complete their projects and tasks flexibly and effectively. The leasing of IT specialists by one company to another enables you to obtain temporary support for certain projects or tasks without having to hire your own employees.

One of the main reasons why temporary staffing is so prevalent in IT is the rapid pace of technological change in the industry. Companies need to constantly keep their skills and knowledge up to date in order to remain competitive in the long term. Through employee leasing, they can gain access to qualified specialists without having to worry about their training and further education. In addition, competition for talent and junior staff is increasing and finding suitable candidates is becoming increasingly difficult and costly.

Challenges in IT

There are a number of challenges in IT today. The greatest difficulty is probably the recruitment and long-term retention of suitable specialists. According to a study by the German Association for Information Technology, Telecommunications and New Media, there were already almost 86,000 unfilled positions in IT at the end of 2020. Temporary employment can be a sensible alternative in the event of staff shortages or order peaks. In addition, the following challenges can generally be identified:

Protecting company data and systems from cyber threats and data loss.
The integration of new technologies into existing systems and processes in order to increase efficiency and productivity.
Collaborating and communicating with different departments and teams to ensure that IT solutions meet the needs of the business.
Compliance with regulations and data protection provisions
Dealing with rapid technological changes and the associated need to constantly acquire new skills and knowledge.
Providing IT support and services to employees and customers to solve problems quickly and effectively.

In particular, the increasing frequency and intensity of cyber attacks require additional knowledge in the area of IT security.

We are also happy to advise you on related topics such as cyber security, pentests and awareness training.
