Commentary: Not just Big Tech – there are tech talent opportunities aplenty in ‘non-tech’ sectors

“Tech jobs aren’t just in Big Tech giants and the start-up scene; it’s increasingly becoming integral to all industries and functions. Other industries such as manufacturing, healthcare, food and beverage, and HR continue to seek tech talent to deepen their digital capabilities and adopt newer ways of working.

Employers are even starting to eliminate university degrees from their hiring criteria. While skills-based hiring doesn’t make degrees redundant, skills are skills – no matter how or where they are acquired.

By investing in a talent pipeline with in-demand skills like data analytics and digital marketing, businesses can build a resilient and recession-proof workforce of tech talent.”
