UK Tech Trends in 2024 📈 Happy belated #WWDC day to iOS network. Every single year it is exciting to see what one of the world's most famous innovators come up with to improve the iOS space. This year we had iOS 18, further development of visionOS and Apple Intelligence. Big year ahead once again! 🎉 I read a fascinating article by TechRepublic which perfectly summarised the same trends I am seeing in the UK tech market. Some of the key stand outs I am noticing at the moment include: ⭐ Increased AI and LLM integration whilst keeping in mind the consequences of utilising this technology ⭐ Appetite from investors to place their money into FinTech, ClimateTech and HealthTech ⭐ Strong focus on increasing team size heading into H2 of 2024 and start of 2025 With all the negativity of the tech crisis in 2023 and start of 2024, it is good to hear positivity ringing out across the market again. With that in mind, I am still working #iOS roles in the UK space and similarly if you are a manager who is looking to gain an insight into how the market looks, I am always free for a consultative chat. What are your plans going into 2025? 🤔 #ai #tech #apple #uktech #londontechweek #techtrend #techdiscussion #techcommunity

Let's talk compensation for interviewing...💬 Tech tests and live coding defiantly splits the community down the middle but yesterday I saw something I've not seen before, this particular company offer a £50 voucher for completing their technical task as they appreciate your time is valuable. 💰 🤝 Some would say if you want to go through an interview process you have to accept that you have to give up some of your time. 🤔 ⏳ Is this something that should be the norm? Share your thoughts below. 👇 #interviewprocess #compensation #technicaltasks #technicaltests

🚀 State of cloud: Key insights & strategies for success 🌩️ A recent report by Pluralsight dives into the world of cloud computing, looking at how businesses in the UK and around the world are using it. Here's the gist: 🔹 Widespread adoption: Almost all businesses (94%) use cloud services, and many (70%) have a good chunk of their tech infrastructure stored in the cloud (think online storage and programmes). But only a quarter (27%) of leaders think their cloud is actually making a big difference for their customers. 🔹 Strategic challenges: A staggering 69% of leaders don't have a clear plan for using the cloud - leading to ad hoc tactical plans and missed opportunities for transformation. 🔹 Cloud maturity: Most businesses are somewhere in the middle of their cloud journey. They're figuring out things like what strategy to use, how much to spend, how to get things set up securely, and how to keep it all safe. 🔹 Skill development: There just aren't enough people with the right skills to manage cloud tech effectively. Organisations need to invest in upskilling their current workforce in addition to recruiting. 🔹 Economic impact: Even with economic uncertainties and layoffs, cloud budgets and skill development budgets are likely to increase, emphasising the importance of cloud investments. 🔹 Multicloud complexity: With 65% of organisations operating in multicloud environments, the lack of extensive experience across multiple providers presents significant challenges. 🔹 Driving value: It's time to shift from consuming cloud services to creating value with them. Businesses need to think about how their cloud tech, the skills of their staff and their overall goals all fit together. Recommendations from the report: - Get a proper plan: Figure out what you want to achieve with the cloud, how you'll keep things secure, and what to do if something goes wrong. - Train your team: Invest in teaching your existing staff how to use cloud tech effectively. - Make sure everyone's on the same page: Leaders and techies need to work together towards the same goals. - Be careful with multiple clouds: Only go down the multi-cloud route if you have the right people and processes in place to handle it. For more detailed insights, check out the full report by Pluralsight. #CloudComputing #CloudStrategy #CloudMaturity #SkillDevelopment #Multicloud #TechTransformation #Cloud2023

Feeling the same way? Recruitment today mirrors the challenges of software engineering in the past. We're flooded with messages from talented individuals seeking jobs, yet we can't always respond immediately due to the sheer volume. This echoes the experience of software engineers who once faced a similar inbox overload but lacked the time or interest to reply to all. #Hiring #JobSearch #LinkedIn Let's remember to exercise patience and understanding. While our intention is to reply promptly, sometimes it may take a little longer. As we navigate through these messages, let's maintain a friendly and respectful approach. In the bustling world of hiring, kindness is just as important as efficiency!

What’s the JavaScript market like?? Is a question asked on pretty much every call I have at the moment. ✅ The JavaScript market is slowly bouncing back. We’ve seen an increase in job flow, also in direct adverts from both agency and client side which is great ( mostly on perm ). An uptick in perm roles is usually a good indicator of a strong market and contract will soon be to follow. Candidates are getting involved in multiple processes at once. ✅ Time to hire still seems slow. Interviews are taking longer and feedback is delayed. Clients are saying they are wanting to hire but wont move promptly on signing things off/starting the processes or making offers. ✅ There are more experienced candidates on the market. A lot of contracts weren’t extended so there are more people looking. ✅ Seasoned contractors are more open to taking an interesting perm role. In short, things are slowly but surely improving. Feel free to reach out if you have more questions. #hiring #JavaScript #UK

What is it with job applications at the moment? 24 hours ago I posted a react developer role right before heading out for the rest of the day and I've come back this morning to 254 applicants, 57 connection requests and 42 linked in messages. Still working through them but at first glance the large majority aren't remotely suitable for various reasons including: 👉 No mention of React on the CV 👉 Not based in the right country 👉 Never worked in software or IT 👉 Not eligible to work in the UK There has to be a better way for everyone involved? It's incredibly time consuming screening applicants and filtering that list and good candidates get frustrated that they never hear back from recruiters and got lost in the shuffle. I have job board and linked in filters for out of country applicants and legal right to work in the UK + 4 pre-screening questions for react development experience but they don't seem to work. Does anyone have any ideas of better ways for this to work? Any new tools out there that can manage this? I'm Sam 🤝 I connect businesses with technology talent in the UK, USA & Canada ✔️ Tech managers & HR teams work with me to fill their niche vacancies 📈 Developers/Engineers use me to find their dream job 📞 02380 765 304  or 18572 440 919 📧 [email protected]

When looking for your next QE role, do you consider how much the company values quality? Luckily, there's some really positive signs that the market is bouncing back. I've noticed candidates are considering a lot of other factors when applying for new roles - as opposed to previous years, where many would talk about a salary increase as the main metric for being interested in a position. Understandably, being in a secure job and working for a business that sees the value in QA (that some companies unfortunately don't), tends to be more important than just a salary increase. ​As an added bonus, if you’re working for a company that has quality at the forefront, you’d hope there's a bit of added security should things get rocky. #qualityengineering #QA

David and Victoria know! 👀 But why are Foxley Talent the go-to recruiter for the Python/Django industry? 🦊 16+ years experience placing over 400 Developers 🦊 Members of the Django Software Foundation 🦊 Sponsors of Django Conferences in Europe and the US 🦊 Organisers of London Python Meetup 🦊 Created the Django.Social community now over 1k people worldwide 🦊 1 in 4 placed developers are from underrepresented groups 🦊 Nobody knows more people in the Python/Django industry This was what one of our recent, happy clients had to say about working with us for the first time, having tried to recruit themselves first: "Foxley did an amazing job helping us hire a Django developer. Jon and his team sourced qualified candidates, helped set up interviews and coding challenges, and provided valuable recommendations along the way. We found our dream candidate within a matter of weeks. Few recruiters have the depth of knowledge and community connections Jon brings to the table. I’d recommend Foxley to anyone hiring a Django developer, and we’ll be using them again in the future!" #DjangoDeveloper #PythonDeveloper #DjangoRecruiter #PythonRecruiter
