Every type of business now employs tech talent. The challenge for employers is not only finding enough candidates, but also winning out over the competition who is recruiting from the same, limited pool. Hear from Indeed Economist Mariano Mamertino as he reveals key insights on the tech job market across Europe and how tech talent searches for jobs today. Mariano will share new research from the Indeed Hiring Lab, a global research institute committed to advancing the knowledge of human resource and talent management professionals worldwide.
