“The biggest challenge we always have is around finding high-calibre IT resources. If you're a really good IT engineer or architect-level engineer, you're probably not sitting at home hoping the phone rings and somebody's calling to offer you a job. There's a pretty good chance you already have a job because these people are in high demand in our industry, and there’s very little unemployment.

We have to do what's called a pull, right? That means you have to pull a good engineer away from what they're currently doing and get them to come and join your team. That's harder than you think because people get comfortable when they like what they're doing. They may have bonuses they will collect in five or six months, so they're not in a hurry to leave. 

Plus, there's a risk, right? If you're already in a current position, you know your teammates, you know your boss, and you know your project load. The fact that you're still there means you're probably relatively happy.

So leaving and joining another organisation is risky because you don't know what you will get. So I can blow all the smoke about how great my organisation is and why you want to come and join me. But, at the end of the day, it's still a leap of faith for that individual to join a new company.”
