Ohio Valley meets Silicon Valley

I saw a news report yesterday that there are over 130,000 IT jobs in Silicon Valley, with over 52,000 of those being for software developers. There's a real talent war going on out there and companies are getting very creative about what they're willing to offer candidates.

We have a similar situation in Louisville, though on a much smaller scale. Demand for IT talent is increasing faster than the supply, which will obviously increase the level of competition for that talent. With this war for talent on our doorstep, it's time for companies to consider what they can offer top candidates and be creative about it. Someone is going to do it, it might as well be you.
