The landscape of IT hiring is evolving rapidly, and as we step into 2025, companies face new and complex challenges in securing top tech talent. From skill shortages to work visa complexities, the demand for skilled IT professionals is higher than ever.
At Akshayam Consulting, we specialize in helping companies navigate these hiring challenges by providing expert staffing solutions, work visa support, and access to a global talent pool.
Top 5 IT Hiring Challenges in 2025
1. The Ever-Widening IT Talent Shortage
Companies are struggling to fill roles for software engineers, cybersecurity specialists, and AI/ML experts. According to industry reports, more than 70% of tech companies face difficulty in finding the right talent.
Solution: Work with a specialized IT staffing partner (like Akshayam Consulting) to tap into pre-vetted global talent pools and accelerate hiring cycles.
2. Rising Salary Expectations and Competition
High demand for skilled professionals has led to salary inflation in the IT sector. Even mid-level developers command six-figure salaries, making it harder for companies to attract talent within budget.
Solution: Optimize recruitment strategies by offering competitive benefits, flexible work arrangements, and career development opportunities.
3. The Remote vs. Onsite Debate
Hybrid work models have become the norm, but companies still struggle with deciding between remote, hybrid, or onsite hiring strategies.
Solution: Define clear remote work policies and use data-driven hiring strategies to decide which positions should be fully remote vs. hybrid.
4. Lengthy Hiring Processes
Top IT talent is off the market within 10 days. Lengthy interview cycles and delayed decision-making mean companies lose top candidates to competitors.
Solution: Streamline hiring processes with pre-screened talent and structured interview frameworks to speed up hiring.
5. Work Visa Uncertainty for Global Hiring
Many companies rely on H-1B, L-1, and other visa programs to hire international tech talent. However, changing immigration policies and processing delays make this a challenge.
Solution: Partner with an IT staffing firm experienced in global hiring and work visa processing to ensure compliance and smooth transitions.
