Why is it hard to hire software engineers?

Why is it hard to hire software engineers?

The Great Resignation has made the existing problem of maintaining a dedicated development team worse. As the world recovers from pandemic shocks, we observe more startups setting future trends and traditional businesses adopting digitization. But with the current hiring situation, they struggle to fulfill the growing demand for specialized IT skill sets.

The Great Resignation has made the existing problem of maintaining a dedicated development team worse. As the world recovers from pandemic shocks, we observe more startups setting future trends and traditional businesses adopting digitization. But with the current hiring situation, they struggle to fulfill the growing demand for specialized IT skill sets.

Why is it hard to hire software engineers?

As a business, one faces an acute shortage of talent or technological limitations concerning in-house resources. To fulfill this gap, one tries to hire software engineers, this process can easily take more than 3-4 months on average. But within this timeframe, one might no longer have that particular IT requirement.


Even if you manage to hire software engineers, they may or may not join. Worse, they may leave after a few months due to being an organizational misfit or not meeting the skill expectations, leaving half-baked work behind.

How to Hire dedicated developers from IT services companies?

“The future of work is remote with distributed teams. TALN helps you find the most reliable distributed talent at a global level to make your software development journey cost-effective and scalable.”

- Arun Kumar, Founder & CEO, TALN -


At TALN, we are an aggregator of IT services companies where we connect their remote, on-demand IT software engineers to companies who need them.

We are a one-stop platform to initiate collaboration between IT services companies and brands looking to hire dedicated developers who are pre-vetted and come with industry experience.

Hiring from IT services companies helps you:

  • Save time: quickly fill your positions with industry professionals without the waiting period. At TALN, we have filled positions within 1-5 days.
  • Adapt to remote work: Our offering helps you hire remote developers who follow best practices for remote development execution.
  • Support beyond talent: leverage a wide range of technology support and relevant industrial partnerships. This also includes quick replacements, upskilling via training of resources, and a dedicated resource manager to support you in your development journey.

Why should you NOT hire a freelance developer?

Most of the on-demand IT aggregators focus on onboarding freelance software engineers - a talent pool that is mostly moonlighting while having a full-time job elsewhere or taking multiple freelance projects.

At TALN, we focus on partnering with small-medium IT services companies that have already built their brand for trust and reliability. Apart from brand value, it offers other benefits over freelance developers like:

  • Standardized procedures: Maintaining SOPs doesn’t come easy when you hire remote developers who freelance. IT services companies thrive on documentation and come with well-defined software development procedures.
  • Easy replacement: Unlike freelance developers, it is easy to replace resources on unsatisfactory work due to performance.
  • Standardized pricing: IT services companies follow standard pricing that is at par with the industry, unlike freelance developers who fail to quote the right price and may turn out to be an expensive option.

In an age of intense competition, your ability to hire dedicated developers can prove to be an unfair advantage. At TALN, we aim to enable you to hire remote developers by leveraging the advantages IT services companies bring to the table.
