But now a days , CIO’s role is like One of the Key Business Leader and directly involved in business growth, Cost reductions, Influencer , Business controller with IT resource management. In some companies CIO’s also have the responsibility of recruitment and I believe that He/She will recruit the RIGHT PEOPLE with RIGHT JOBS.
