  • Here’s how one tech company overcame talent shortages and grew 300 percent

Here’s how one tech company overcame talent shortages and grew 300 percent

Monday, June 26, 2017

"Invest in the rookie. Those who may not know how to solve a problem will create a solution." Jason Beutler, President of EduSource

The tech industry is growing like crazy! But there's a problem: talent to fill the growing positions that are being born. Eighty-three percent of Chief Information Officers (CIOs) struggle to find talent, according to a recent Gartner survey. That's not a problem for EduSource, an Indianapolis tech company that grew 300% in 2016. Jason Beutler, President of EduSource, has created a pool of young talent that he can hire as an apprentice for a two year time period, train and then hire full-time once they graduate college. Listen to how he did it, and what you can learn from EduSource.
