Xtra Effort sees Software-as-a-Service/Cloud Computing as an important trend in recruiting. Examples would be Sales people possibly being attracted to a shortened Proof-of-Concept, without an onsite installation, but they maybe concerned about how commissions are paid out with a client only paying on per usage basis.
Some executives may see Cloud Computing as an exciting means to add further value to the enterprise and ignite new discussion, while others don't feel their employer's solution is yet sufficiently "real" to introduce the subject with a customer. VP's may have to spend more time selling their own employees and candidates on the validity of their cloud solution. Technical implementation people may see themselves as QA and product engineering, rather than PS people, if they don't perceive the cloud solution to be ready for prime time.
VP's don't want to overpromise their new value propositions to employees and candidates as a retention/attraction strategy, nor do they want to be too discreet about up coming plans because competitors can come knocking.
Implementation professionals may sense relief without having to perform as much custom coding and onsite integration work, but may feel diminished in their capacity to really help create customer specific solutions that represent competitive advantage for the enterprise.
Sales Engineers may appreciate the efficiency and liteness of an on-demand solution, but may feel less impactful without the customer commitment associated with a $1m dollar decision and massive integration considerations.
Your thoughts? What other considerations have you seen as VP's? As candidates/employees?
