Webinar: How to Beat the Global Technical Talent Shortage
There was once a long-standing belief that the most productive and successful employees were the ones who were in the office first and left last. There was also a seemingly unspoken rule that a tough commute was a requirement for the best paying jobs; after all, you have to live where the jobs are.
But the COVID-19 pandemic changed the way employees think about work. This, in turn, inspired “The Great Resignation.” In today’s work-from-anywhere world, employees recognize compromises don’t need to be made when it comes to finding the proverbial work-life balance.
Talent Acquisition and Retention in the Tech World
An unintended consequence of so many employees rethinking their approach to where and how they work has fed into an already significant talent shortage. 54% of companies worldwide report talent shortages, and talent shortages in the U.S. have more than tripled in the last ten years. Additionally, based on survey findings from ManpowerGroup, 69% of employers report they are struggling to fill positions.
The global talent shortage seems even more pronounced when searching for top technical talent; many organizations seem to be hiring for the same resources.
So how can organizations today attract and retain top technical talent? By leveraging outsourcing partners.
Join industry expert and Elsewhere CTO Josh Stephens as we host a 60-minute panel-style webinar on Tuesday, October 19, 2021 featuring Alex Chubay, CTO of SoftServe, Matt Finlayson, SVP of Engineering at ActivTrak, and Mecca Robbins, People Operations Leader at Trissential, to gain insights into ways to fine tune your talent acquisition strategies for top technical resources during a worldwide talent shortage and The Great Resignation.
The webinar will address the four elements of effectively beating the global technical talent shortage today. These include: Discussing the current talent landscape and how it’s different; recruiting during a talent shortage; retention during the Great Resignation; and the benefits of leveraging outsource partners.
Attendees to this webinar will learn:
- Tips to create and implement a more effective approach to recruiting in today’s ultra-competitive hiring market
