Diving into Talent Acquisition, Diversity and Retention
In most markets, there is an abundance of open IT jobs with fewer people able to fill them – and the positions are getting more expensive. Working remotely is the norm, but not optimal (usually). There is less off-shoring and more resources are focused locally or within the same hemisphere.
Additionally, we are still not recruiting enough woman and minorities in to the rank and file, especially senior IT roles, and we’re losing talent to major tech hubs.
Join us as we dive into solutions to tackle the following challenges
- How do you scale staff / team without losing them to major tech hubs?
- How do you create more diversity – not only among race and gender – but diversity of thought – Old vs New Thinking?
- How do we mentor universities to implement actionable steps for supplying more IT talent?

This session will provide a model and tactics to elevate the maturity of IT to focus on value over costs, while still meeting the business directives.
