👤 5 Ways IT & Tech Companies Approach Finding Talent
#Freelance

🔹 Despite significant layoffs, almost 90% of tech leaders say that recruiting and retaining talent is a moderate to significant challenge. With highly technical roles harder than ever to fill, many companies are turning to freelancers to fill what were previously employee-shaped skills gaps.

Here are five strategies for getting started: 

🔹 Leveraging Professional Networks
Professional networks can be a great first step in sourcing exceptional talent. These could be on or offline, and be networks you’re already a part of, or those you need to reach out and join.

🔹 Engaging with Educational Institutions
While a lot of fresh skills are evolving too fast to depend on graduates alone, being able to tap university leavers who are looking for graduate roles is an important part of a talent acquisition strategy.

🔹 Utilizing Social Media and Digital Platforms
You never know who you’re already connected to until you reach out! Especially when it comes to freelance talent, the online world offers huge opportunities in talent sourcing.

🔹 Embracing Remote Work
Broadening your talent acquisition strategy to fill skills gaps more easily also involves a change in mindset. Instead of thinking about the perfect talent that works within an hour of your office, think about the perfect talent — period.

🔹 Adopting Innovative Recruitment Technologies like Fiverr Enterprise
Many companies are nervous about turning to freelancers because they simply don’t have the processes or systems in place to make it work.
