Tech talent in 2025
During the last 12 months, Glenn and Amanda has been involved with recruitment of Software Developers / Engineers, IoT Specialists, Data Engineers and Analysts, CTO`s, Technical Project Managers, Technical Consultants and much more. Typically, our clients are looking for people with 2 years` experience +, often into senior and lead positions.
Although the market has changed somewhat the last 2 years, it is still what we call a “candidate-led” market within the technical field. In other words, there are more jobs than candidates. This further means that most hires are carried out via proactive search / headhunting, and that advertisement has lesser effect.
Things are however gradually changing and times of securing great technical talent is absolutely there now. We asked, Co-founder, Erik, why he believes this is the case?
There are more companies out there who are struggling and either letting people go, or people are deciding to leave themselves
There are high profile start-ups and scale-ups who have not managed to secure more funding and thus have to close down. (sad but the truth)
Bigger companies are looking at re-structuring and thus people become unsure about their future
More consulting companies are struggling, and experienced IT Consultants may be more interested in permanent in-house positions
As with all Rede People, Amanda and Glenn work hard on putting together high-quality prospects for all clients and positions. A thing that is quite unique for Rede People and in which often triggers passive candidates to become interested in the position and our client. It also ensures our clients retains, and sometimes even strengthens their brand towards the candidate market.
We asked Glenn about the effect of these prospects. “It gives them more than just the generic info an advertisement often produces and gives them a deeper insight into the company. For tech-candidates it is also a great opportunity to learn what tech-stack is used. And perhaps most importantly, it gives potential candidates the opportunity to carefully review whether this triggers enough interest to enter the recruitment process”
Amanda was the one who came up with the design-idea for our new prospects. We asked Amanda how we go about creating these when we get new positions and new clients? “We create them in Canva, and the key purpose of a prospect is to show candidates all the things they are wondering about after reading the job specifications / advert. This include deep dive into the history of the company, the team they will be working with, company culture and more. Additionally, we also have a Q&A with company staff in relation to what they think about working for the company. We also like to input more information about the recruitment process so that the candidate get an overview of the road ahead”
