Hi paul,

Quite franly, I think the situation is much worse for IT HR department: they have no purpose anymore and they slowly disappearing.

One of the HR traditional roles was also to find the best match for a specific job. The late Internet *Revolution* (which is nothing but an economical phenomenon catalized by a technology ), saw tons of untrained and most of the time unemployed people get into IT HR departements with poor or unadapted skillset to evaluate technical proficiency. As a consequence of their unability to determine precise profiles for profile job description, the limits between typical candidate profiles you would usually have in the IT department is getting blurrier and blurrier: By lack of competence, HR current people are forced to set up *put-all-technical-jargon-in-one* job descriptions and interviews to find out candidates by trial-and-error method. Nowadays, it is not uncommon to see job descriptions where HR people would ask all at once programmer, DBA ,analyst profiles...Of course, most of the time they fail and feed the IT labor force with technical people at their image: *unskilled and unaware of it* (after the name of the study posted on F PASCAL dbdebunk).

In fact, IT HR departments are getting poorer in all senses of the word. As a consequence, IT corporate culture is now favoring outsourcing entire HR departments and prefer working with lucrative head hunting agencies that are doing even worse than the latter because motivated by productivity criterias.

HR are a part of the equation that explain the decay of IT industry in general and database industry in general. Received on Fri Mar 21 2008 - 11:31:36 CET
