“Demand for tech talent continues to remain strong as shown by the record low unemployment rate for technology professionals,” said TechServe Alliance CEO Mark Roberts. “In this tight labor market, hiring managers will have to be mindful of the expectations and demands of the tech workforce as we navigate through the complexities of work-from-anywhere culture in order to hire and retain employees, especially in the specialized tech roles.”
