Businesses are facing a global tech talent crunch at a crucial time for digital access to products and services. Staff augmentation and outsourcing are key to obtaining customized apps and other essential digital products at competitive prices.
The digital shift is driving the need for tech talent
Never before has it been so important for businesses to secure for their clients and customers a digital entry point into their products and services.
Even though the digital transformation had been quietly gathering pace in some sectors, the global pandemic forced even the most ‘tech-averse’ to work, speak, shop and undertake important appointments online.
Although this rupture in daily life occurred as an urgent response in a time of need, many users found they prefer their new and expanded online access, attracted by savings in cost, time and personal effort.
The ripple effect is that there are not enough software engineers, and other tech talent, to provide the customized apps and other digital products that companies need.
Here, we offer five tech talent recruitment tips that will keep your business ahead:
How to succeed at tech talent recruitment
1. Utilize IT staff augmentation
Staff augmentation is a process by which businesses ‘plug the gap’ in their staffing levels by employing outside personnel on a temporary basis.
Ceiba has seen a dramatic increase in the number of companies requesting our staff augmentation and tech talent solutions, particularly among overseas businesses.
Software developers, tech leads, project managers, UX/UI designers, and DevOps engineers are among the most requested roles, with our fully-bilingual staff ready to slot into any team.

2. Outsource your entire tech team
Although Ceiba’s software specialists, as well as our experienced project managers, are ready to fill the gaps in companies’ in-house tech teams – some companies prefer to outsource their entire digital project to us.
That includes the design, development, testing and ongoing maintenance of customized apps and other essential digital products.
Outsourcing in the IT industry saves time, money, and stress. It allows businesses to access emerging talent at competitive prices, and take advantage of disruptive innovation without the headache of internal hiring and management.

4. Pay competitive prices for IT talent fast hiring
The IT skills shortage has peaked in some countries with the United States, for example, forecast to miss out on an estimated US $162.25 billion by 2030, thanks to the tech talent shortage, according to a Korn Ferry Institute report.
The country has an estimated one million vacancies for skilled computer specialists.
