Tech hiring is going through an intense period of change, how do you adapt?
This year started with an avalanche of layoffs, as the tech hiring market corrected for a period of post-pandemic exuberance. This has left engineering managers in a tricky position, asked to do more with smaller teams, re-think their progression frameworks, and maintain morale and productivity levels through the chaos.
Even if companies are largely freezing hiring, open positions still need to be filled, and those hires are now more important than ever. While the 2022 hiring spree may look short-sighted and impulsive in retrospect, 2024 must be marked by taking a long-term strategic view to grow your company.
