VICTORIA, BC - 2023.October.27 — Charter Telecom, a leading IT services provider and reseller, announced today the release of the latest edition in its monthly Charter Engage: Know IT podcast series, called “IT Staff Smarts: The Augmentation Approach,” which discusses ways that businesses can implement a smart approach to hiring.

IT resource shortage is a global issue, and Canada is no exception. ^[1] Companies are turning to firms, like Charter, to provide specialized IT resources to address gaps in technical skills, support lean teams, and overcome hiring challenges. Qualified IT resources are crucial for the successful completion of strategic business initiatives, as they provide day-to-day support and assist overwhelmed staff in dealing with project timelines.

Get to know our contributors: Loretta Leniuk, Charter’s Director, Staff Augmentation; Kegan Adams, our Chief Operating Officer; and Mark George, Charter’s Director – Energy, Resources & Industrial Markets as they discuss various topics on staffing resources, such as its definition; the pros and cons of using Staff Augmentation; which businesses should use the practice; Charter’s unique value proposition; where we practice; our bench strength, and what’s happening in the field, especially around worker-placement issues post-Covid.

“The people that have been working remotely during all this time have now created a new life balance, where they don't want to be, necessarily, as a full-time person going back into the office, or taking this opportunity to change into another role or another job. This is where staff augmentation is, definitely, helping our clients navigate the new world of how they are operating with their full-time employees, but still maintaining, keeping the lights on, keeping projects moving forward in IT.”

– Loretta Leniuk, Director, Staff Augmentation
