IT Talent Is Heading for Outsourcing Suppliers

An interesting turn of events in Britain is raising eyebrows on these shores as well. A report in ComputerWeekly UK says businesses that outsource technical work are losing graduate IT talent to their outsourcing suppliers. Diaz Research, a British IT employment advisory firm, says that outsourcing and offshoring has "chopped career structures off at the knees."


In the report (registration required), we learn that graduates are finding more interesting positions working for the suppliers than they can in the lower ranks of the firms that hire them. "IT-knowledgeable people don't want to work in an IT function where technical work is not getting done. The attractions are not good for younger people," the firm says.



While no research has been done on this phenomenon stateside, the implications are obvious: The entry level career track for IT is at risk of being turned upside down as companies face a potential shortage of - or lack of interest from - IT talent that's looking for something cool to work on from day one. The action item: Create career paths from the entry level up that will engage new hires expecting to be challenged with truly technical tasks from the get-go.

Comment on Silicon Valley and the Talent Crunch by Jeff Dickey

And after you hire those young people, explain to them how you'll work together to help them out of the technical track, where ageism and cost-cutting are going to declare them obsolete by the age of 30. After that many years in software, I still learn a language or two every year, but I've also been around enough not to make the wet-behind-the-ears mistakes that too-commonly doom career-starting startups. Out of maybe sixty good developers I've known who started roughly when I did, all but about five are in completely non-technical jobs now, or are long-term unemployed. Three are senior development managers in large firms, and there's one other guy who learned Chinese and moved to Shanghai ten years ago. Very, very few other crafts, trades or professions kill off their talent as systematically and arbitrarily as development does. Sorry for restating the obvious, but every time I see someone emphasize how "YOUNG people" are somehow intrinsically superior to others, I get angry. It's the most reliable, inexcusable troll bait I've seen in thirty years online.
