CIOs and talent strategists will not be surprised to learn that artificial intelligence (AI) and data science jobs make the top of CIO India’s list of The 11 Most Difficult IT Hires Today. That’s because these technologies are relatively young and being introduced in all sorts of companies going through digital transformation, writes the author Paul Heltzel. Still, other roles cited may not be those IT leaders expect.
Of the difficult hires, Harley Lippman, Founder and CEO of Genesis10, told CIO India, “The challenge is not only finding individuals with the skills, but people who can connect the dots to create business impact. For example, there has been a focus for the last several years on enterprise data management, big data and analytics.”
CIO India prepared its list to identify demand for managers doing the hiring and to help IT pros interested in exploring new opportunities in fields that are in immediate need and have a bright future.
CIO India is a trusted, interactive, community destination for Indian CIOs and other high-level IT executives to connect on key issues and business challenges.
