2020 INSIGHTS:
Going into 2020, challenges and opportunities alike are sure to present themselves. There are more technologists than ever will the skills and experience that business need to build out and maintain their tech stacks; however, low unemployment and economic growth rates mean that sourcing and hiring the right talent has become a challenge for many – companies pay higher salaries in order to hire qualified developers, but then worry about them being approached by competitors.
