A Needle In A Haystack

What came first, the expensive developer or the self-proclaimed “expert” developer? It seems that every software company faces the same conundrum:

So what gives? While demand for software engineers, architects, and web developers has continued to grow, supply has remained somewhat stagnant. In fact, Cisco estimates that in the cyber security industry alone, there will be one million job openings in 2016. But that’s not the worst part. By 2019,  Symantec CEO Michael Brown estimates cyber security job openings to grow to six million, with a projected shortfall of 1.5 million. This supply and demand imbalance is prompting some developers to charge in excess of $200 an hour. Ouch! How can you turn a profit when the R&D costs eat up your entire 2016 budget?

Platforms like ours offer a simple solution:

Yeah, I know you’re thinking, “Wait, didn’t you just tell me there’s a gap between supply and demand.” True. I did tell you that. But the catch here is that the gap in underdeveloped countries has not grown in proportion to the United States. Translation: it’s much easier to find elite talent at mid-market prices.
