Add BT as a preferred source
OULIANA Trofimenko and Annie Rihn, who work for different technology companies on the West Coast, are both on the front lines of one of the biggest challenges to US economic growth right now: a scarcity of technology talent.
Ms Trofimenko, head of technical recruiting at Mapbox, a developer of mapping and navigation software, has 10 people on her team out of a total of 339 employees.
Ms Rihn, vice-president of recruiting at Zillow Group in Seattle, has a staff of 100 for about 3,200 workers at the real-estate website operator. Those ratios, about one recruiter for about every 30 employees, compare with about one per 100 at many companies.
