Addressing Talent Scarcity in The ServiceNow Ecosystem

In their whitepaper, Global Hiring Guide: Top Emerging Tech Hubs published on June 20th 2022, Globalization Partners predicted that "by 2030, there will be a global talent shortage of more than 85 million employees in three major industries", including technology; and the ServiceNow ecosystem is not an exception. 

 

Many companies have been forced to leave their hiring-practice comfort zone to find qualified talent due to the increasing demand for highly qualified expertise. Achieving business growth and digital transformations are even more challenging without new talent further expanding this gap between supply and demand for individuals with high-demand tech skills.



In addition, there will be more than 250,000 ServiceNow jobs for customers and partners by 2024, its estimated an unemployment rate of 1% in the ecosystem, and according to a Gartner CIO survey 66% of CIOs reported that they felt "talent was scarce and almost to crisis proportion".

 

In the face of this constantly increasing challenge of talent scarcity Volteo Digital has analyzed, adapted and pivoted on how to attract, retain, and build talent by driving several key initiatives.

Insights from Volteo Digital

The Power of Community

By Volteo Digital • 08 Apr, 2024
Since childhood, the desire to be part of a community, to find that sense of belonging and experience harmony and balance, has been a fundamental human need. We search for this feeling in various places - with our family, friends, school, and beyond. I didn't truly appreciate the significance of this until I embarked on my career in public relations. When I first joined the team at Volteo Digital, I was tasked with understanding what it takes to build a strong community. It was a challenge initially, but as my aspiration to be a leader and friend within the company grew, I stumbled upon Charles H. Vogl's compelling book The Art of Community. This book made me reflect deeply on our membership community and its profound implications. What I've learned has shown me the value of meaningful connections. These connections transform our lives by allowing us to share ideas, engage in activities, and celebrate successes.
