Employer expectations for new hires are at a all time high. Realistically, these expectations don't match the current #tech hiring market where the #unemployment rate has remained under 3% for several months. The talent pool is limited.

"Layoffs and Fewer Job Openings Create a False Sense of Security" Wouldn't this create a false sense of insecurity?

1wGood article on how the employment / talent market seems to work today. As a manager of tech teams in the past, it wasn't always easy to find the perfect person with the perfect skills for a role. I would look for the best, motivated person who I thought would make a great team mate. I then evaluated what key technical skills or experience they were missing against my ideal position requirements. If I felt I could support and develop a few missing tech skills quickly by supporting them with our team and knowledge base, I'd go for the right team mate and bet I could get value from day 1 while growing their skills to fit the role. I'm sure that's not a normal approach today. As a manager I felt just like a coach trying to build the right team and train them. I was ALWAYS in the education business to create teams that could deliver the right services and value. 👍
