Daily News | Philly employers are desperately seeking tech workers even as Silicon Valley giants are laying off thousands
But local experts say that many of the eliminated positions belonged to support roles like salespeople and recruiters, rather than technologists, and many companies outside the technology sector still need tech-skilled workers desperately.
“The biggest impact is more the psychological impact,” Brittany Nisenzon, a regional director for recruiting firm Robert Half, said of the national layoff news. In other words, seeing huge public companies laying off thousands of workers makes other companies pause, but local employers don’t seem to be considering layoffs en masse. Still, they have slowed the hiring process slightly, she said.
“Philadelphia has not had the same profile of being a tech ecosystem” as some other cities, Steltz said. But local companies now see “a unique opportunity to try to build the concentration of tech talent we have here in our region.”
