Insights for employers and hiring managers
Whatever the AWS role, use our guide to benchmark your salary or contact rate, or to uncover what you should be paying employees in your team.
Look at anyone faced with the task of finding and retaining AWS talent and you’ll find a tired looking person—it’s arguably one of the biggest challenges in the tech industry.
In a skill-short market, where finding AWS specialists is just as difficult as attracting them, it’s essential to have an informed approach that takes into account your business objectives. Developing that strategy properly means that knowing what AWS professionals need, want, and expect from your job offer is a vital part of the puzzle.
However, it’s also essential to know what makes them stay. Without improving your attrition rates then projects continue to be delayed and progress stalls—and that’s not to mention the cost (and time) involved with frequently having to re-hire.
So let’s delve into what motivates candidates and what attracts them to a role, including AWS end users and partners.
