HUMAN CAPITAL MANAGEMENT MARKET UPDATE – MARCH 2018

The Skills Gap: Convergence of Training and Access to Talent

The skills gap and its effect on the business and labor market in the U.S.has been put in the spotlight as the impact is exacerbated by historicallylow unemployment (4% overall). The IT sector is one areadisproportionately impacted by the skills gap and low unemploymentthat is currently under 2%. IT labor demands remain high (temporaryand full time) fueling continued growth in the IT staffing segmenthowever growth has come at a more tempered pace (4% in 2017) as itremains constrained by the availability of talent. IT staffing executivesare consistently noting a clear trend in the supply & demand imbalanceshifting apart.

To be successful, IT staffing firms will need to become increasinglyoriented around securing talent (vs. job recs) and focusing on morecreative avenues to capture a younger network of candidates with theright skill sets. Growth in the IT staffing sector will be inexplicablylinked to success of post-secondary and professional trainingorganizations to educate and train technology professionals. The vastmajority of Americans will note, however, that schools need to catchup. 93% say schools need to do more to develop employable graduatesand 75% say inadequate education is a top factor responsible for theskills gap1.

Coding Bootcamps looked to be a welcome solution and gained tractionraising significant venture funding though many were not operatingwith a viable model and several, including major providers such as DevBootcamp and The Iron Yard, closed in 2017. Others, however, raisedcapital or were involved in healthy M&A transactions.

Expect to see more creative partnerships between staffing firms andspecialized training / post-secondary schools moving forward. We willlikely see groups experimenting on both ends of the spectrum withsome opting for loose affiliations and others for more intertwinedrelationships. There is a strong case for a heavily integrated model butthe core capabilities of both partners need to be aligned.
