IT recruitment has been harder than ever during the Coronavirus pandemic, with some roles remaining open for over a year, says Steve Capper, group CIO at SNC-Lavalin, a construction services firm which "isn't always seen as that sexy for IT people."
"Recruitment has been twice as hard during the pandemic," Capper says. The construction services firm "isn't always seen as that sexy for IT people." he says.
