Every time I try to hire someone to do any tech work for me, I am convinced there is a shortage of tech talent. It is cray hard to hire people, leaving aside price. It is hard to even get people to discuss working for me, before compensation is even discussed.
And I live in NYC, not under a rock. And I'm friendly.
Sure seems like a tech shortage to me.

Most good people already have jobs, so you need to find folks transitioning or starting out. There's a risk either way. The more specialized the skill, the harder it is.

- gav 14y agoWe've been having problems hiring in NYC, there's definitely a shortage of good tech talent here. Just an anecdote: in the last month or so we've had two candidates not show up to an interview because they've already accepted another job.
