How do you propose they reach out to the good talent? I ask because I know managers at a number of companies near me that cannot find good developers. They can find 100 far less than ideal ones but finding one that is worth hiring and doesn't already have a good job is proving near impossible. So how would you recommend they go about finding these people?
- osipov 19y agothey can start by lowering their standards...
- sanswork 19y agoWhy should they spend their money on less than ideal candidates when apparently a lot of highly skilled and great developers are out of work and desperate?
- osipov 19y ago>finding one that is worth hiring and doesn't already have a good job is proving near impossible I think you answered your own question. At some point they should just take a look at the harsh reality and concede that they aren't the most attractive place to work for the money they pay.
- sanswork 19y agoIt's harder to convince a quality person to leave a stable position for another stable position than it is to convince them to come to yours from no position despite what perks you may offer. I think one of the few companies in IT who doesn't have this issue right now is probably Facebook, Google use to be in that position until recently when there seems to be some backlash. The harsh reality is that there really is a disproportionate number of bad to ok programmers in the North American market compared to good to great programmers. So I guess getting back on topic. Is there a shortage of developers? No. Is there a shortage of quality developers? Probably.
