Is competition high for Projects and Change Managers?  

Given the number of transformation and change projects taking place due to accelerated digitalisation, Covid-19, and increased adoption of automation – it’s no surprise that there is some competition for IT Project and Change Managers.  
 
However, the uncertainty of the market has made these specialists more hesitant about taking on new opportunities. Aside from a competitive salary and benefits offer, try to position the role as an exciting opportunity for an ambitious professional to grow – in order to secure the best people.  

What skills are important for Projects and Change Managers to have?  

Key things to look out for when recruiting for an IT Project and Change Manager is someone who has good knowledge and understanding of project and programme management methodologies, project control tools and techniques, and their practical applications.  
 
Professional qualifications in project management, such as PMP or Six Sigma are useful. So too, is a demonstrable awareness of change management techniques. You want to hire someone who has provable experience delivering a complex or multifaceted project with Agile methodologies, who can therefore react flexibly to constantly moving parts of project delivery.  
 
Of course, deep technical understanding of the technology they will be delivering or optimising is a must have. Soft skills are also important, especially communication, stakeholder management, and leadership skills.  

Aside from a good salary, how can I attract the best Projects and Change Managers to have?
