SXSW 2023

Building the Tech Talent You Need to Succeed

Description:

It's simply not possible to hire all of the software development talent we need today. Competition is tight for limited talent, salaries are rising, and the pace of change in software frameworks, tools and processes is accelerating. From the largest corporations to small startups, it's beyond time we change the team-building paradigm. More businesses need to realign their values and begin to shift some team-building focus away from hiring and into investments in alternative approaches. We build the talent in our organizations through inventive training and development activities that create strong cultures and help great talent shape their own growth, benefiting individuals and businesses alike.
