Tech Sector Webinar: In demand tech skills and the evolving role of a CTO

IT has evolved from a mere support function to being a feature that gives companies their competitive advantage; and as it has done so, the skills needed to be successful in tech have undergone significant change to keep up. This includes managing business risk and resilience, negotiating with suppliers, seeking finance through funding rounds right up to overseeing large-scale change management projects and data security.

In addition, the skills and knowledge of successful tech leaders has diversified and expanded beyond technical infrastructure to all business functions, and along with that, a more in depth understanding of what it is that makes the business tick.

As a result, tech candidates at all must bring an increasingly diverse range of skills and experience to the table to add value and maintain relevance to business success – and many of these skills cannot be taught.

Recruiters can add tremendous value here by pinpointing the skills needed by a client (which they may or may not be aware of) and matching them with candidates who can help them meet their business objectives.

In this session we explore the evolving skillset being demanded by companies of all sizes from their tech leaders and tech candidates in general, whether they be a small start-up or global enterprise, and how recruiters can identify must-hire tech candidates to meet their client needs.
