What you need to know about finding ServiceNow qualified talent



The fact that there is a technology talent scarcity isn't a secret. But the shortage may be even more severe than you imagined—in fact, according to a recent survey, it may be at its highest level since 2008.


A recent global report from Gartner states that IT executives list talent shortages as the most significant barrier to the adoption of 64% of emerging technologies, which is a staggering increase from only 4% in 2020. In light of this, statistics have shown that there are five jobs for every one software developer in the U.S.


This talent gap has reached the rapidly growing ServiceNow ecosystem and has made it difficult to find adequate help for businesses. Those with the right skills can be extremely helpful in making a business run more smoothly and efficiently. The problem lies in finding these people as you're likely competing with other businesses for the same limited pool of talent.


According to the current market trends we've discovered, ServiceNow employees' unemployment rate is less than 1 percent. Finding and keeping in-house ServiceNow staff is difficult because it takes 6-18 months to locate a qualified ServiceNow professional.


At this point, you should probably try a few old-fashioned ways to fill this talent gap, such as providing training to your current employees so that they can become certified ServiceNow professionals or hiring someone who is already certified and has the necessary skills.  Both of these methods have their own benefits and drawbacks.


The question is: what's the most efficient way to find certified talent that can help you with routine administrative tasks for your ServiceNow applications?


ServiceNow is already taking action to help thousands of IT professionals be trained to meet this demand for talent.

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.
