How to Recruit Tech Talent

Indiana CIO Tracy Barnes explains his efforts to recruit tech talent on StateScoop’s Priorities podcast on June 22. He focuses on marketing and communication, especially building social media campaigns to share the innovation occurring at state agencies. In addition, he shares how he builds his workforce using the state’s award-winning earn and learn program. For this program, they train people from non-tech backgrounds to take on tech roles. The state provides on-the-job training, education and hands-on activities with agencies and departments to get trainees “ready to dive in and be productive on day 1,” says Barnes.
