The IT Talent Trap

Overview

About this stream

For our next session, I'll be joined by Phillip Poynton - a recruiter with over 18 years of experience, and for the past 6 years, he's been exclusively focused on hiring Salesforce talent. Half British, half Polish, and living in Poland, Phillip brings a unique perspective on both the international and local recruitment landscapes.

In today's rapidly shifting job market, both companies and candidates are facing significant challenges. Companies struggle to source the best talent, often ending up with candidates who excel at navigating Applicant Tracking Systems (ATS) and processes rather than being the ideal fit. Meanwhile, professionals are finding it increasingly difficult to secure stable positions.

This will be a no-filter conversation about recruitment - the good, the bad, and the ugly. From the perspective of both recruiters and candidates, we'll dive into what's really going on in the job market today. With Phillip's candid approach, you can expect zero sugar-coating and plenty of real talk about what works (and what doesn't) in hiring.

This is a unique opportunity to gain a broader perspective on the dynamics of IT talent acquisition and empower yourself with the knowledge to make informed decisions, whether you're hiring or seeking your next role.

At BridgingTheGap.eu.com, we believe in the power of open collaboration and community-driven learning to democratize access to essential education. Join us on this journey to empower yourself in the world of IT talent!

    My name is Karol Skrzymowski, and I would like to invite you to our today's live stream, the IT Talent Gap, brought to you by Loosely Coupled, hosted by BridgingTheGap.eu.com, which is an open source project keen on sharing knowledge about enterprise application integration.

  3. Karol

    Today, we're talking about a very burning topic, one that I have experienced for the last few months personally while searching for a new job.

  4. Karol

    Very burning because the market today, especially in IT, is horrendous.

  5. Karol

    It's a nightmare to find a job.

  6. Karol

    It's a nightmare to go through all those processes, and it's difficult for a lot of people, difficult for recruiters as well, and difficult for all the companies trying to hire the best talent.

  7. Karol

    That's not going to be an easy conversation, but we're going to do no bullshit this time around.

  8. Karol

    We're going to tell it as this.
