1. Identify your hiring needs

   Before you start hiring a technology resource manager, identify what type of worker you actually need. Certain positions might call for a full-time employee, while others can be done by a part-time worker or contractor.

   Determine employee vs contractor status

   Is the person you're thinking of hiring a US citizen or green card holder?

   Yes

   No

   A technology resource manager's background is also an important factor in determining whether they'll be a good fit for the position. For example, technology resource managers from different industries or fields will have radically different experiences and will bring different viewpoints to the role. You also need to consider the candidate's previous level of experience to make sure they'll be comfortable with the job's level of seniority.

3. Make a budget

   Including a salary range in your technology resource manager job description helps attract top candidates to the position. A technology resource manager salary can be affected by several factors, such as geography, experience, seniority, certifications, and the prestige of the hiring company.

   For example, the average salary for a technology resource manager in Wyoming may be lower than in Ohio, and an entry-level technology resource manager usually earns less than a senior-level technology resource manager. Additionally, a technology resource manager with certifications may command a higher salary, and working for a well-known company or start-up may also impact an employee's pay.

   To prepare for the new technology resource manager first day, you should share an onboarding schedule with them that covers their first period on the job.
