There is a global shortage of tech talent, 76% of IT leaders experience skills gaps on their teams, since 2016, there has been a 145% increase in the number of IT decision-makers who report a skills gap in their department. On average, it costs companies more than £20,000 and takes 5 months to fill a technical vacancy. This is a huge issue for any organisation that relies on tech workers to develop and maintain its products and services. Distributed developed Elastic Teams™️ to address this global issue.
