Challenges of IT Recruitment In London
Recruiting tech professionals in England’s capital city presents unique challenges for employers. Below are the biggest hurdles hiring managers hoping to attract talent to London must overcome.
London is the leading tech hub outside the United States, so the competition for tech talent here is intense. Consequently, start-ups and smaller companies can find it hard to stand out among more prominent players and often need help to attract the best candidates.
The fast pace of technological transformation has led to a shortage of candidates with the latest digital skills and expertise. While skills shortages are an issue wherever a company is situated, these gaps are magnified in England’s capital, making it difficult for London companies to find experienced, technologically skilled people for critical vital roles.
London is an expensive city to live in compared with others in the UK. For example, to rent an average studio apartment in Camden would cost around £2,100 per calendar month, while similar properties in Manchester City Centre would cost just half that amount. Such high living costs can discourage IT professionals, especially for entry-level positions.
London is a cosmopolitan melting pot of over 270 nationalities and 300 languages. With such a diverse range of cultures and backgrounds, finding candidates who have the right experience and skills and are a great fit for your company’s particular culture and values can be especially challenging. This is a challenge smaller companies and big corporations share, regardless of company size.
Being in the centre of one of the World’s leading tech hubs is a double-edged sword for tech companies in the capital. As if finding tech talent in the UK’s capital wasn’t hard enough, when companies find their star hire, they must work even harder to retain them.
