Resumen
Great progress in both the quality and quantity of information technology (IT) staff in China has been evident for several years. The high-speed development of the IT industry has led to a corresponding rise in demand for qualified personnel. Despite this growth, however, there are still serious staffing shortages. The rapid impact of IT on society has propelled the popularity of the profession. IT corporate managers can get excellent employees from a variety of sources, such as professional recruitment consultants, job fairs, online and newspaper job postings, or hiring new graduates directly from universities. Big corporations, especially international or domestic leaders, can draw stronger candidates than the smaller or startup companies mostly because of higher salaries and attractive benefit packages. The shortage of capable employees is in fact slowing the development of small business within China. Due to cultural traditions and inflexible training systems, Chinese industry does not have enough trained IT professionals in many critical areas such as project management system, system planning, hardware system research and basic arithmetic research, among others. It is even worse for small and medium-sized enterprises.
