The recruitment, selection and integration of IT professionals in organizations has been a particularly complex challenge in terms of aligning expectations with the current career development objectives of candidates and the context of evolution in organizations.

IT professionals have some specific characteristics, namely: high levels of autonomy in the performance of their duties; have a strong interest in continuously acquiring new knowledge regarding their area of ​​expertise; and, intend to develop their activity through challenging projects, allowing them to know new realities and new business areas.

Through strategic decisions about the management of business activity, organizations have sought to directly integrate into their workforce a relevant number of professionals with IT competencies.

Given this evolution of the IT profile in organizations, recruiters encounter new challenges in their selection and integration: integration into multidisciplinary teams with the participation of other areas of the organization; Employee framing in projects with greater character of continuity and organizational scope; need for greater specialization in the organization’s business area, guaranteeing the critical analysis of processes, implementation and maintenance.
