Digital Hiring Challenges in Lancashire

Shortage of Mid-to-Senior Talent

While graduate-level digital talent is growing, many Lancashire employers struggle to attract experienced professionals, especially in roles like DevOps, AI Development, and Digital Strategy.

Digital Transformation Requires the Right Fit

Hiring for digital transformation isn’t just about technical skills, it’s about cultural alignment and change readiness. Many companies underestimate the soft skills required to lead successful digital initiatives.

Competing with City Salaries

Lancashire-based businesses often compete with opportunities in Manchester and remote-first roles. To attract and retain top digital talent, employers must offer more than a paycheque, they need clear purpose, flexibility, and a compelling value proposition.
