Nonprofit Organizations Have Hard Time Finding Tech Talent -- IT Hiring -- InformationWeek

Nonprofit Organizations Have Hard Time Finding Tech Talent -- IT Hiring -- InformationWeek: "For nonprofits trying to finding IT workers, 70% say the task is extremely challenging or somewhat challenging. By Marianne Kolbasuk McGee InformationWeek August 30, 2007 04:20 PM Seven in 10 nonprofit organizations that are trying to recruit IT workers are finding the effort difficult, says a soon-to-be-released report by Johns Hopkins Institute for Policy Studies. Of 790 nonprofits surveyed by Johns Hopkins Institute, only 37% reported that they've been trying to recruit IT personnel. That's a relatively low percentage of nonprofits looking for IT staff, considering that 84% of the nonprofits were recruiting all sorts of professional and support personnel. For instance, 81% are trying to recruit administrative assistants and 56% are trying to find fund-raisers, according to the report."
