Competitive recruiting tactics, scarcity of highly skilled IT talent, and continued remote work conditions have spurred employers to adapt how they recruit and maintain tech workers, according to industry leaders in a session titled “Injecting Talent into Your Organisation” at CompTIA's 2020 EMEA Member and Partner Conference.
CompTIA’s Graham Hunter, vice president, skills certification, EMEA, met with Ben Hansford, managing director, apprenticeships at Firebrand, and Aaron Saxton, director of training and education at UKFast, to discuss current talent acquisition trends and strategies.
As customer demand for cloud and cybersecurity solutions surged in response to COVID-19, so too did employer demand for developers, engineers, designers, and data scientists who build and support those solutions. IT companies were willing to pay more as well as cast a wider net for qualified candidates.
“We’re seeing it, day in, day out. Inflated salaries, temporary recruitment, massive recruitment fees, an increase in poaching of overseas talent… There was a skills shortage pre-COVID that has only widened,” said Hansford.
For some candidates, the economic and societal uncertainties caused by COVID-19 resulted in a need to stay put. According to Saxton, “as the result of COVID and the instability of jobs and careers, [workers] are sticking to who and what they know right now.”
