Talent shortage has always been the scourge of the IT industry. And in 2021, it became a problem of global proportions—one that TriCom Technical Solutions continues to keep a close eye on.

The recent talent crunch can be attributed to the increasing investment in post-pandemic digital transformation, which has pushed the demand for digital talent far past its supply. TriCom agrees with the opinion of Gartner that this shortage will last at least two years, perhaps significantly longer for some niche and critical skills.

Don’t wait until “tech winter” arrives to start gathering fuel. We urge IT leaders to start planning for short-term and long-term talent management and sourcing strategies for each type of digital talent required.
