As the demand for tech talent has surged globally, many organizations are struggling to attract and retain the right talent in-house. As such, many are increasingly making use of remote skilled talent to fill the void.<\/p>\n

During the COVID-19 global pandemic, remote work has been ‘normalized’, surprising many executives with the positive impact on productivity – especially pronounced in the tech segment. This has resulted in broader acceptability of remote skilled workers, where their physical location is no longer a barrier, opening up talent pools globally.<\/p>\n

So why would you consider remote developers to augment your engineering teams ? The below are some of the key benefits which this model can unlock.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t

To further support this model, a\u00a0recent survey<\/a>\u00a0conducted by\u00a0CodinGame and CoderPad<\/em>\u00a0highlights two key drivers worth considering, for remote developers in particular.<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Developers WANT to work remotely; therefore you are more likely to attract higher skilled developers for remote roles, and;<\/strong><\/li>\n
  2. Hybrid\/Remote teams are at least as productive as on-site teams.<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    \u00a0<\/p>\n

    As can be seen in the survey results, 70% of developers want to work remotely. This is supported by 1\/3 of roles now being fully remote; according to what recruiters are reporting. It is evident that restricting your potential talent pool to candidates who are within a short radius of your office location, will drastically increase your time-to-hire and cost profile, including making your role less attractive than your competitors.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

    \u00a0<\/p>\n

    Further, more than 30% of developers believe that a mix of on-site and remote workers have a positive impact on productivity, as can be seen from the excerpt below.<\/p>\n

    In it clear that these hybrid teams combining on-site and remote skilled workers are now mainstream, and team have adapted extremely well to a remote way of working.<\/p>\n

    This is especially prevalent in the tech sector, with developers in particular enjoying the benefit this model bring.<\/p>\n

    At IT Workforce, we are seeing huge demand for remote developers and data scientists\/analysts in particular.<\/p>\n
