Strategies To Attract Tech Talent Like A Tech Giant
With The Budget Of A Startup

Finding tech talent is very challenging. Forty-two percent of companies in the tech sector find it difficult to retain the best talent. And it is even more difficult for small companies and startups that have to compete with tech giants and even bigger budgets. But it is not impossible. Here are some strategies you can apply to attract top tech talent.

Focus on Culture
One of the advantages of a startup is that it has an environment of drive and entrepreneurship that big tech companies have lost a little bit. Focus on growing and advertising this culture because it is one of your most significant advantages. Not all employees know what it is like to work for a startup, so part of your strategy should show them.

Another benefit of the startup culture that many professionals look for is flexibility. Generally, because they have smaller teams, the rules are bent a little as long as you deliver in terms of productivity. For example, a full stack developer may choose to work for a startup because they feel they will have more creative freedom.
Look to Coding Bootcamp Schools
Coding bootcamps have become pretty common in the tech industry. People can learn tech skills like front end development or data science in a short few months. Tech companies have been hiring graduates from these courses for years now. One of the reasons is that they finish the course with all the abilities required to perform in the industry.

As a startup, you can forge partnerships with these schools to hire their best talent first. It means you will have access to highly qualified employees and snatch them before tech giants. There are dozens of coding bootcamps schools listed on BootcampRankings that you can approach, and they are in different cities like Austin, New York, or Philadelphia.
Show Them How They Will Make an Impact
Another thing you can use to your advantage is that, being a smaller team, most employees will have the chance to make a real impact. It means their tasks will directly relate to the company’s results. And if the startup is working to make products for the consumer, then their job will have an immediate impact on society.
Another aspect is that in startups, most employees work alongside the founders and CEOs. So, they can feel like their ideas will be valued and considered. They will have a real voice in the company instead of being just another cog in a much bigger machine. Make sure to advertise this in your job descriptions.
Learning Opportunities
Learning opportunities can be job training, online courses, coding bootcamps, or annual stipends for education. But learning in a classroom isn’t the only way to help them grow. You can also offer mentorship programs. With these programs, new employees will have the opportunity to learn from the more experienced employees and even to work with the founders.
For tech professionals interested in having their own business in the future, working in a startup alongside the founders and CEOs can be the decisive factor. And because startups are companies still in the growing process, all their operations involve some degree learning. There is always room for improvement and trying out new ideas.
Consider Outsourcing
As mentioned before, startups are companies that are still small, just in their early years, and have a lot to learn. If you are one, you have to know one of the main disadvantages you have when it comes to competing for talent is your lack of experience. So, instead of trying to tackle everything yourself, you should consider outsourcing.
Recruiting agencies are created to help other companies fill the roles with the perfect candidates. They do the work for you for reasonable prices, and they do it better. After all, badly designed recruitment strategies can bring monetary losses to a company. Leave the work to the professionals if possible.
In Summary
You can implement several strategies to compete with tech giants. But the truth is that startups are very different from companies like Google or Facebook, and they are even better in some aspects. You should use your strengths to your advantage.
You can focus on your culture, look to coding bootcamp schools, show them how they will make an impact, and offer learning opportunities. Ultimately, you could outsource and hire a recruiting agency if you can afford it.
