Tech Talent War: How to Perfect Your Hiring Strategy and Win the Battle
The tech industry is booming, with recruitment companies reporting annual growth rates of 5-6% in hiring driven by increased demand for skilled workers (Source: Times of India). Analysts predict IT budgets to grow by 9% by 2024, leading to more competition in attracting top tech talent (Source: Times of India).
One implication of this is that if you want to strengthen your tech arm and advance your career, now is the prime time to acquire the best talent. But how do you stand out in a crowded market and win the battle for tech talent?
Here at SilverPeople, your trusted tech recruitment experts, we’ll guide you through a winning strategy to win the tech talent war.
Building a Strong Foundation: Know Your Needs
Before heading into the recruitment process, it’s important to have a clear understanding of your company’s needs. Here is a two-pronged approach:
Short-term needs: Identify activities that are important to your daily activities. Consider using contractors to fill these positions for short-term flexibility and reduced risk. This gives you access to high-quality, reliable freelance talent for specific projects.
Long-term perspective: Analyse the skills gap in your team. What talents and skills do you need to sustain or accelerate innovation? This helps you target the right candidates who can get involved and support your simple long-term business goals.
Sharpening Your Competitive Edge
In a market where talent is scarce, streamlining your hiring process is key. Ditch the lengthy candidate screening and focus on building a strong employer brand. Here’s how to do it:
-
Highlighting your unique selling proposition (USP): Why should prospects choose your company over others? Identify your company culture, professional development opportunities, and the impact a candidate can have in your organization.
-
Go beyond the basics: Do your benefits offer more than just a standardized vacation plan and a competitive salary? Consider alternatives to work-life balance, well-being, and personal growth.
-
Market-competitive compensation: Find out the current market value of your desired tech skills. Offering competitive salaries demonstrates your commitment to attracting and retaining top talent.
