It doesn't matter whether you are a hiring manager or an IT pro, the skills gap is changing the way you look for a job. IT Pros know their skills are in demand and salaries are going up. Managers know they need to work hard to get and keep the best talent. That's where culture comes in.
We don't mean culture the way some people mean it. It isn't hiring another white dude, because your office is full of white dudes and they'll "fit in." It is about an honest and deep connection between the employee and the place of business? Does it sound like a dating app commercial? It should, because you can get paid to work anywhere, but you'll be much happier and productive if you love where you work. That's especially important since employee engagement is at an all-time low.
