How do you address high demand for tech talent in the IT industry?
“If talent is the most important dimension, they have a way now then to truly access lost Einsteins all across the country. What remote work does is it turns every hire into a national competition”

Working From Anywhere (WFA)
Working From Anywhere emerged as a way of life for IT tasks during the pandemic. As you begin to make decisions about how to staff up in the post-pandemic era, you may consider extending this concept to include locations beyond your borders and augment your work force with tech talent globally through outsourcing.
Robotic Process Automation (RPA), Cloud and Artificial Intelligence/Machine Learning (AI/ML)
RPA and AI/ML have emerged as technologies to automate business processes. Some RPA software is now available in the cloud. Combine this with Cloud based infrastructure that has been around for some time, lead time to get started is reduced along with cost of entry. Automation may be a better option than outsourcing for some of the Business Processes. You may even consider bringing back some Business Processes you have outsourced now.
Working from Small Towns (WFS)
There is significant untapped talent pool in small towns. They are unwilling or unable to leave these towns for a variety of reasons though they are qualified to work in major IT companies in metros. It can be cost effective compared to outsourcing to major metros.
Crowdsourcing
Crowdsourcing initially began with low end tasks. We now have vendors who provide managed crowdsourcing for tasks that require high quality. Is that an option for you?

Your challenge
