Software Engineering Recruitment
Our software engineering house is divided into two practices: Opensource and Microsoft. These two practices run on different but parallel lines. Each is owned by a dedicated subject matter expert, who is underpinned by a smaller team of specialists who focus on specific technologies and tech stacks. This means that whether your vacancy is for Java or Python, C# or .NET, we have an expert on hand who knows your market inside out.
Our subject matter experts have a deep understanding of their respective markets and can guide on everything from competitor activity, market trends, and rate benchmarking to support with talent attraction campaigns and long-term talent pipelines. Because we work with clients of all shapes, sizes, and sectors, we also understand how different businesses work and the type of talent that succeeds there. We speak your language, get your market, and know your audience.
Software Engineering Market Trends
Looking to the future of software engineering, we see how two converging issues will shape the horizon: the lack of software talent, and the desperate need for it. COVID-19 highlighted the importance of integrated digital customer journeys, with rising demand for talent to help companies digitize.
For example, there has been a spike in demand for front-end developer talent, particularly in UX and UI design, apps, and mobile responsive design due to remote customer bases. We are also seeing how software engineering talent is being blended into new sectors. For example, the need for rapid scalability and continuous development to respond to an ever-changing landscape is leading to new practices like DevSecOps, MLOps, and Serverless Computing, which all require developer talent.
As a result, developer talent is becoming more cross-domain and less siloed – as well as harder to find. Recent data from Tech Nation shows that demand for software developers outstrips active candidates by as much as ten times. The scarcity of talent, combined with the complexity and competition of the market, has led Lorien to specialize in software engineering recruitment.
