Almost one in ten vacancies remained unfilled as a result of the shortage of specialists in the top 20 medium-sized IT consultancies analyzed in 2018.<\/p>\n<p>In times of ever more project inquiries, this means that around one in five project inquiries had to be rejected. The medium-sized IT consultancies surveyed are trying to close the gap in vacancies in the future with significantly stronger measures in the area of personnel marketing and active sourcing.<\/p>\n<p>Furthermore, more and more IT consultancies are training their own specialists and entering into strategic collaborations with universities. More investment in recruiting as well as in employee retention is becoming a decisive success factor for medium-sized IT consultancies in order to fulfill their role as partners in the digital transformation for customers.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/e3mag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/Ranking-Top-20-IT-Mittelstand_f100719_cmyk.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\"
