Attracting the Best and Brightest of tech talent

Attracting the best and brightest tech talent requires a proactive and strategic approach. According to the Pew Research Center, a staggering 75% of the workforce is projected to demand hybrid or remote work options by 2025. This highlights the evolving expectations of employees and the growing importance of work flexibility in attracting and retaining top talent. However, the demand for skilled software developers, engineers, and data scientists continues to increase as technology becomes more integrated into our lives.

According to a CompTIA Cyberstates study, the technology sector greatly impacts the United States, contributing approximately $2.0 trillion, or 10.5%, of the country’s total economic worth. A further estimate of 4.8 employments through direct, indirect, or induced ways is deduced for every job in I.T. services and custom software development.

In response to the shifting landscape, prominent tech companies such as Google and Microsoft, often referred to as FAANG (Facebook, Apple, Amazon, Netflix, Google) and MAAMA (Microsoft, Apple, Amazon, Alphabet), have reevaluated their recruitment strategies.

This paradigm shift in recruitment practices presents an opportunity for tech experts who may not possess formal degrees but possess skills due to hands-on experience and exposure.
