Technology Talent Shortage ... NOT! Okay... maybe we do have a bit of a talent shortage in areas and especially with years of experience. However, have you considered hiring someone who has the will, the desire, and the energy to succeed and then INVEST in them? If not, then this episode is for you. Benefits to hiring Inexperienced Talent: Easy on the budget Develop those Who Understands the Digital Age ENERGY!!! Yes, you can save money, bring on fresh ideas, and energize the organization by following my advice. Will it take time to develop this new talent? Yes. Is it worth the time and effort to develop them? ABSOLUTELY, POSITIVELY YES! Take my words for what they're worth, but I am a 25-year veteran and leader who has hired people at all stages of their career and I'm telling you, getting people in the door with energy, enthusiasm, the willing to learn new things, will benefit you and your organization. Take a chance, bring them onboard and see what happens. Let me ask you, do you believe we have a shortage of people who are willing and able to perform? Or are you simply unwilling to put in the effort to develop individuals who deserve a chance. I for one do not believe we have a shortage of technology talent, we simply have a shortage of those willing to develop them. If you disagree, shoot me an email at [email protected].
