Are you a small and growing tech company? Are you finding it difficult to find and hire the talent you need to grow and expand your business? Are you tired of competing with Big Tech for talent?
The tech industry is ultra-competitive, and it can be a real challenge for smaller tech companies to compete with the tech giants of the world like Apple, Microsoft, and NVIDIA for talent when they have larger budgets and unlimited resources. This makes it even more important for smaller tech companies to think outside the box and find additional ways to find and hire talented software developers, engineers, and programmers.
Truss may be able to provide a solution for U.S.-based tech companies that are finding it difficult to find and hire the talent they need to compete with global tech companies. We can use our global hiring platform to help you find talented tech employees in emerging markets around the world that will provide the skills you need to compete.

How Can Small Tech Companies Compete with Big Tech for Talent?
Are you a startup tech company on a tight budget? Are you trying to break into the tech industry? When you start to build your team, you will no doubt find yourself in competition for talented developers and engineers with bigger companies that have more resources — and that is just one challenge you will face.
Here is a closer look at a few challenges that you will face when you compete with Big Tech as a smaller tech company:
- You will likely have a smaller budget for recruiting and hiring.
- Your company may not have name or brand recognition with potential job candidates.
- You may not have a dedicated recruiter or hiring manager and employees may have to fill multiple positions.
- You may have less time to spend recruiting and finding tech employees with the right skills.
- You may feel added pressure to launch products early while keeping your costs low.
We understand that feels like a lot to overcome — but with the right tools and the right partnerships, you can gain a competitive hiring edge and minimize the impact of the challenges listed above. Here are a few ways you can compete with Big Tech when you need to hire talented tech employees:
Hire Remote Talent in Emerging Markets
In business — sometimes it is important to zig when your competitors zag.
Tech companies that are in a hiring battle may want to take a different approach than larger tech companies and build a remote team of developers from emerging tech markets around the globe. This provides growing tech companies with a deeper talent pool to hire from with lower employment costs that allow new tech companies to hire talented individuals without breaking the bank. The Truss global hiring platform is a valuable asset for hiring companies and is built to help tech companies find, recruit, hire, and manage remote talent in Central Asia and other untapped markets.
Create a More Efficient Hiring Process
Is your hiring process too slow? A slow and complex hiring process can lead to frustrated job candidates and missed opportunities to hire premier tech talent. By creating a more efficient process with clear deadlines, a standardized interview process, and set limits, you can improve your hiring process. Partnering with a global hiring agency, like Truss, is a viable solution to improve the process as well and can eliminate aspects of the hiring process — like recruiting, vetting, and evaluating potential employees.
Create a Flexible Workforce
Flexibility can help set your tech company apart from larger companies and competitors in the industry. A remote workforce, flexible hours, and shorter work weeks can make working for your tech company more attractive to potential job candidates. Providing your employees with greater autonomy to accomplish their tasks and the tools they need can be an attractive alternative to the rigid schedules found at many larger tech companies.
Highlight the Importance of Your Employees
When an employee is part of a larger workforce, it is easy for them to feel like just another number on the salary sheet, just another worker bee in the hive. Smaller, growing tech companies can compete with larger companies by imparting in their employees a pride in their work and making them feel like they are a part of something great as a member of your team. Making employees feel like they are a key piece of the process for your company not only helps build a successful team, it is an attractive element to highlight when recruiting potential employees.
Invest in Employee Development
When employees choose a company to work for, the opportunity to grow, develop, and advance as part of a company is attractive to many. Tech companies with a smaller team allow employees to work closely with teammates, improve their skills, and learn new skills. When you pair that element of a tech startup with available online courses, certifications, and mentorship programs, smaller companies can provide potential employees with increased opportunity to develop professionally — which is not always an option with larger companies.
