Who could have imagined the changes in the IT job market this year? Dot-coms have gone from the place to work to the last place most IT professionals would take a job. Job seekers have gone from having their pick of multiple offers to finding themselves in competition for openings. Students have gone from landing jobs even before their senior year to finding out that jobs they were promised no longer exist.
But IT professionals remain very fussy about who they want to work for. For the hiring manager, the surest way to attract and keep skilled IT talent is to be known as an employer of choice—a Best Place to Work. To help you understand what that means, Computerworld has conducted its annual survey of the top 100 employers for IT professionals. Their strategies include the following:
When you succeed at these efforts, finding IT workers and keeping the ones you have will come naturally.
For the eighth year in a row, Computerworld conducted a survey to identify the 100 best places to work for IT professionals. From January 2001 through March, Computerworld invited CIOs, vice presidents and IT directors at U.S.-based companies to participate in the survey. Respondents submitted information about their IT organizations online at Computerworld.com.
Computerworld's 75-question online survey asked about the organizations' benefits, training and development, average salary increases, percentage of staff promoted, turnover rates and the percentage of women and minority employees on staff and in IT management positions. In addition, information was collected on each organization's hot projects, mentoring programs and benefits, ranging from elder care and child care to flextime and stock options.
The final ranking was based on the results of the 75-question survey and wasn't limited to the data presented below. All quantitative data was scored separately and given equal weight in determining the final ranking. Rankings were based on the status of and information from the companies at that time.
