University or Bootcamp: Diversifying Tech Talent in Software Development

University or Bootcamp: Diversifying Tech Talent in Software Development In our latest podcast episode we wanted to explore how businesses can mitigate the software development candidate shortage and hire great developers by improving and switching up their recruitment processes. Senior Software Development Consultant, Aiden Pople, is joined by Ishaq Amin, Data Engineer and Owner of JuniorDeveloper.careers, to discuss how businesses can widen their software talent pool when recruiting in the current candidate-short market. Ishaq talks about diversity and why hiring people who think differently (neurodiversity) and come from different backgrounds, career pathways, and experiences is fundamental to building high performing, and collaborative teams. We ask: Are businesses missing out on great talent because they are dismissing candidates who don't come from a university background? How important are university degrees in todays software development market when there are so many brilliant self-taught coders and those who have trained through Bootcamps? What can businesses do better moving forwards? If you want to get involved in future podcasts or have topic suggestions for future episodes, email your ideas to [email protected].
