GM competing for 1,500 new IT recruits
You don't have to be a car junkie to get a job at General Motors' new software innovation center in Warren, but you might have to be a coding guru -- and software experts are in short supply.

GM announced Monday that it plans to add 1,500 software development and data management jobs at its Warren Tech Center as part of its effort to in-source 90% of its IT work.

The move catapults the automaker into a recruiting thicket crammed with the world's most innovative high-tech companies -- all competing to hire a limited number of software engineers coming out of college or mid-career retraining programs....

GM currently conducts only about 10% of its IT work while outsourcing 90%. Mott wants to reverse that approach, which could involve changes to several long-running IT contracts like GM's deal with Hewlett-Packard.
I would really like to know what prompted this change.
