The "IT Talent Shortage"

Leave it to James McGovern to shake me out of hibernation.  There's nothing like a little rant to wake you up in the morning.  Thanks James!

To even suggest that there is an IT talent shortage is ridiculous.  I have blogged extensively in the past regarding this topic and nothing has really changed.  Too many organizations focus on their more immediate needs rather than the long-term growth of the organization.

This is a marathon, not a sprint.  If you treat your hiring practices as a short-term race, then the results are obvious.  It will all be over before you know it.
