Today’s tech world is defined by change. Forward-thinking business leaders everywhere hope to use this constant state of flux to their advantage – the key is adaptability and operational resilience, which are impossible-to-achieve traits without the right talent onboard.
This is where a dependable change manager comes in. Change managers should have the technical and interpersonal skills needed to guide your transformation in the right direction, delivering your goals on time and in budget.
Considering the shape of today’s talent market, finding this talent is much easier said than done.
If you’re not sure where to start, the specialist digital tech recruiters at Trust in SODA have put together a list of pointers.
Design the right interview process. Change managers are famed for their dynamism and adaptability. Hosting contextual interviews with situational questions can be a good way to get a closer look at the skill set you’ll need them for.
Use psychometric testing. Psychometric testing is a great way to help you thin the application list before you reach the interview stage, and it’ll supply you with valuable insights into your prospective candidate’s personality, motivations, and capability.
Write accurate, specific job ads. Change manager jobs can encompass a broad range of skills and responsibilities, so it’s important to make sure your job ad reflects exactly what you need from your candidate. You’ll likely have an influx of applications – getting as specific as possible can help you thin down the list.
Leverage community networks. Joining Whatsapp groups, Discords, Slack channels, and LinkedIn groups is a good way to integrate further into the business community and pinpoint potential candidates in a talent-short market.
Use the experts - specialist recruiters are well-positioned to help companies progress in today’s uncertain era. When resources and access to talent are scarce, a reliable recruiter can take the pressure off.
Berlin is a bustling tech hub brimming with culture, innovation, and opportunity. Germany, a world leader in industry 4.0, is leading Europe’s charge when it comes to technological ingenuity, boasting some of the world’s most exciting tech pioneers.
With a thriving startup scene, the world’s third-largest economy, and access to top talent, German businesses are uniquely positioned to navigate an AI-enabled future, provided they can reboot their digitalisation efforts.
A complex regulatory environment is seen by some as a glass ceiling for innovation, and the polarisation surrounding the oncoming EU AI act is a prime example. Good risk management is the key to operational resilience in today’s era, and those who can develop an adaptable, dependable infrastructure have a strong chance to gain an edge over the competition.
In Germany, talent has emerged as a key battleground. According to Bitkom, 147,000 IT jobs went unfilled at the start of 2024, representing Germany’s largest-ever talent crunch.
