Salaries are No Longer King in IT

In a field like information technology, where salaries are buoyant no matter what the state of the economy, IT recruiters are noticing that salaries are not the main factor in determining how long IT contractors stay at IT jobs. Even when technical recruiters find IT consultants jobs that perfectly match their salary requirements, the things that make a job tenable long term have more to do with IT managers and how well the skill requirements match their resumes.  Having positive, open communication with managers is always going to make IT professionals enjoy the jobs.  IT staffing firms can also better predict if a placement is a good if their job candidate finds their work meaningful.  IT headhunters that can make the best matches between IT job candidates and the workplace culture and the quality of the work will always be more successful.  If IT staffing companies can make matches that work both in terms of workplace culture and the quality of the work, they will have hit a homerun for sure.
