This article does a good job to demonstrate ways to attract and retain talent. The only thing I'd disagree with is that they won't come to you. If you do the other things listed, and become known as a shop that does things right and treats employees well, they will come to you. Reputation of several companies makes their recruiting efforts much easier.
The article doesn't really address the alleged developer shortage referenced in the title. Even if every company did these things, and did them well, would they still all be able to meet their hiring needs?
- devilshaircut 13y agoI agree with you and I would add one other small thing on the "they are not going to come to you" point. Working from the assumption that this is a true proposition, it still wouldn't make recruiting a problem which is easily unpackable. Many HR and recruiting departments very actively look for candidates. The latter part of the article discusses how to set apart your company; I just wanted to make the distinction that although they may not "come to you", it is still the case that many employers are aware of this already and do actively recruit.
