We asked two industry thought leaders to share their perspectives on the future of IT staffing in a special series. In this first episode, Mark Roberts, CEO of TechServe Alliance, leads the conversation with Joel Leege, President and COO of Red Oak Technologies, who offers his perspective on whether the changes in IT staffing reflect a familiar cycle or a structural transformation. Joel also shares insights on the future of skill sets, the impact of AI, and the evolving role of staffing firms.
