ILTA's 2011 Staffing Survey SUCCESSFUL RECRUITMENT PRACTICES In preparing this year's IT Staffing Survey, we asked you for input on hiring practices: Where and how do you find the best candidates to fill your IT positions? Many report that they turn to the Web as the primary resource when they have a position to fill. Some common sites include ILTA's job bank, craigslist.com, monster.com and careerbuilder.com. Recruiting agencies and professional referrals were also cited by our respondents. Do you have a successful referral program in place? Yes No 16 18 47% 53% In those firms that had a referral program in place, it was common for the referring employee to receive a monetary award that ranged from $500 to $1,000 if the new hire was successful past the probation period, and that ranged from three to six months.
