Why Reverse Recruitment is the Future of Tech Hiring
HR Tips Sophie Soulane
Recruiting tech talent is the main challenge for many HR managers and recruiters around the world, and it’s about to get even more challenging. In the coming years, the number of available tech jobs is expected to largely increase. At the same time, the pool of qualified developers will decrease – by 2030, we anticipate a global shortage of more than 85 million tech workers!
For this reason, it’s more important than ever to prepare. Even companies that already have a healthy pipeline of candidates should be proactive in improving their recruitment strategy to remain competitive, and reverse recruitment is the way to do it. We’ve listed the most important performance indicators in tech recruitment you should be looking at, how to measure them and how to improve them using reverse recruitment.

How to Engage Remote Developer Teams
HR Tips Eli McGarvie
We have quickly learned how much of a struggle it is to take our company culture and all the rituals we enjoyed and upload them to an online workspace. It’s not quite the same, is it? We can’t really identify what makes our company different from the next, and that’s just one station away from ‘why do I even work here in the first place?’ When the humanised element of work is stripped away, engagement suffers, culture and morale take a hit, and that’s when a team and the company begins to suffer from lower productivity and employee satisfaction.
