The global developer shortage: How Talent Clouds can help enterprise organisations
14 Feb 2024
The global shortage of software developers is a pressing issue that enterprise organisations need to address in order to stay productive and deliver high-quality projects. According to recent Gartner polls, only 19% of HR leaders are prepared to meet the requirements of their organisations. In this changing talent landscape, we’re breaking down how enterprise leaders can leverage Talent Clouds and how Distributed is leading the way.
Implications of the developer shortage
The global shortage of software developers has significant implications for enterprise organisations. With a limited pool of available talent, organisations may struggle to find and retain skilled developers. This can lead to delays in project delivery, increased costs, and a loss of competitive advantage. In addition, the shortage of software developers may also result in a higher demand for their services, leading to increased competition and rising salaries.
The situation is urgent. Distributed Founder Cal Adamson shares, "Globally, we're around 100 million software developers short today, and that's going to grow to 130 million short by 2025." These numbers underscore the magnitude of the problem and the need for immediate action. It’s overdue for tech leaders to explore alternative solutions, such as Talent Clouds, to ensure their organisations can continue to thrive in a highly competitive market.
