Ep 702: Solving Talent Scarcity

Matt Alder
About this episode

Recruiting Future is the podcast that helps Talent Acquisition teams drive measurable impact by developing strategic capability in Foresight, Influence, Talent, and Technology. 


Skills shortages in emerging technologies have reached critical levels, with companies all fishing in the same tiny talent pool for experienced professionals. But if these technologies are relatively new, why assume only experienced talent can work with them? 


In such fast-moving industries, how can companies develop their early career hiring strategies to ensure they get net new talent who can be productive immediately?


My guest this week is Tan Moorthy, CEO of Revature. Revature is helping employers build pipelines of entry-level talent by giving high-potential hires the training and development they need to be effective from their first day. In our conversation, Tan gives us an insight into a structured approach to identifying, developing, and deploying new talent, which is transforming how organizations solve their tech talent shortages.


  • In the interview, we discuss:


  • Are employers looking at tech skill shortages through the wrong lens?


  • The ABCD of in-demand skills (AI, big data, cloud, digital)


  • AI Native entry-level talent


  • Critical thinking and problem solving


  • What employers get wrong about upskilling


  • Cohorts, structure, and impact metrics


  • Talent as a C-Suite priority


  • The process to identify, develop, and deploy net new talent


  • The role of technology and data


  • Focusing humans on unique human skills


  • What does the future look like
