You\u2019re not alone. In fact, it\u2019s becoming even more challenging. Just look at the numbers: Between 2019 and 2021,<\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/datapeople.io\/article\/recruiting-trends-post-pandemic-tech-industry\/\"> <span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">the number of tech jobs advertised in the US<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> skyrocketed by a staggering 81%. Yet, surprisingly, the average number of applications per role dropped by 19% during the same period.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">These statistics paint a clear picture: Whether you\u2019re directly involved in the tech industry or simply need to hire tech professionals, the current landscape is tough to navigate. The competition is fierce, and finding the right candidates seems like searching for a needle in a haystack.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>So what does this mean?<\/b><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In a challenging hiring market, it\u2019s essential to think creatively and consider alternative approaches. It\u2019s time to think outside the box.\u00a0 Embracing a fresh perspective can be the key to finding and retaining the perfect technology professional. That\u2019s where <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.granify.com\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Granify<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, a renowned technology company in the e-commerce industry, comes in.

One effective strategy to accomplish this is by placing a strong emphasis on your onboarding process.

According to<\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/datapeople.io\/article\/recruiting-trends-post-pandemic-tech-industry\/\"> <span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">recent research<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, there has been an increase in job postings including the word \u2018senior\u2019 and much fewer jobs advertised as \u2018junior\u2019. Companies often aim to make employees feel their importance and inherent value by giving them fancy-sounding job titles. It\u2019s a way to boost morale and keep turnover low. This strategy can be useful because it attracts people who want a more impressive title on their resume, without needing to pay them the salary of a more experienced employee.<\/span><\/p>\n<h5><b>The technology you use matters<\/b><\/h5>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Tech workers are naturally going to want to work with innovative technologies.

Therefore, the technology that your organization uses may be deterring applicants.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">It\u2019s much less likely that a technology professional will accept an offer for an organization that is using outdated technology.
