What tech hiring or job seeking trends
do you expect to see in 2022?

Phill Perkins
Vice President

"2022 is going to be about companies and employees continuing to prove their worth. With the dramatic increase in salaries over the past year and the increase in resignations resulting in higher turnover, both sides of the equation will have to work to keep everyone happy and successful.”

Kelsey Prisby
Executive Director

"As we look to the year ahead, the tech companies that are most willing to adapt to their employees’ needs will be the most successful in both attracting and retaining talent. In particular, the ability to retain employees is now more important than ever as we see the talent shortage continuing to widen.  Whether that be offering a hybrid work setup, increasing benefits, or improving flexibility to prevent burnout, building an employee-first culture should be the focus in 2022.

Rachel Klenicki
Managing Director

"In Seattle, the fight for top tech talent continues to be fierce. Candidates expect faster hiring processes and competitive offers that reflect their needs. My goal will be to continue educating clients on a quicker and more efficient process to be competitive in this market.
