Having the right person in the right position can mean the difference between business success and failure, especially when it comes to recruiting a chief information officer who is responsible for a growing list of business issues. While finding the ideal information technology executive for this strategic role is crucial, it is only the beginning. Once found, companies must seal the deal or risk losing a perfect fit.

Based on our experience assisting companies throughout the world in the recruiting top CIOs, we explore the common attraction issues when trying to recruit top talent, including: the strategic importance of information technology to the organization, the role’s position in the company, a competitive compensation package and the location of the role.
