The hiring landscape has changed dramatically this year, but moving fast can create a huge competitive advantage when vying for top software engineering talent.
The continued uncertainty around the global economy has resulted in a seismic shift in staffing for hundreds of technology companies. Layoffs.fyi reports that tech companies have cut more than 225,000 jobs in 2023. While that number is scary, many laid-off professionals are securing new employment within a matter of months, by pursuing opportunities outside of the tech industry.
This shift is likely due to the consistent demand for tech expertise to drive forward large-scale digital transformation and modernization projects at companies in the finance, healthcare, nonprofit, and government sectors.
