Scrums.com Launches Skill Hub: Future-Proof Your Tech Career

The Growing Challenge in Hiring Tech Talent

Scrums.com has launched the Scrums.com Skill Hub, a game-changing platform designed to help professionals upskill and stay competitive in a rapidly evolving tech industry. With 58% of companies looking to bolster IT investment and facilitate digital transformations, according to Gartner’s 2021-2023 Emerging Technology Roadmap, the demand for skilled developers is outpacing supply. To address this, we are committed to launching over 1000 skills resources over the next 12 months, ensuring professionals have access to cutting-edge learning materials.

The Growing Crisis in Tech Talent

The demand for software developers is skyrocketing, yet there’s a widening gap between industry needs and available talent. Consider these alarming trends:

• The global shortage of full-time software developers is set to jump from 1.4 million in 2021 to 4 million by 2025 (IDC).
• The software development field is projected to grow by 25% between 2021 and 2031, outpacing most other industries (Bureau of Labor Statistics).
• 61% of HR professionals struggle to recruit qualified developer talent (CodinGame).

These statistics highlight an urgent problem: the tech industry is evolving faster than talent can keep up. The professionals who thrive will be the ones who proactively upskill and align their expertise with market demand.
