Hiring skilled developers has become one of the most frustrating challenges for businesses worldwide – and the numbers prove it. A global talent shortage has created a bottleneck in tech recruitment, with an estimated 40 million unfilled technical roles currently, projected to rise to 85 million by 2030.
The average hiring cycle for engineering roles stretches over 40 days – nearly 70% longer than for non-technical roles. Even after hiring, companies often wait 2 to 6 months for full onboarding, losing productivity and momentum. The costs add up too: with average recruitment spending at $3,500–$5,000 per hire, not including training or HR overhead, small to mid-sized companies are burning both time and budget. And it doesn’t stop there. Nearly 45% of engineers leave within 24 months, creating costly cycles of attrition, knowledge loss, and re-hiring. Startups and scaling teams feel the crunch hardest – without large budgets or in-house HR depth, they face delays, burnout, and project stagnation.
