Public sector organizations are facing significant challenges in recruiting technology talent necessary for transforming services, compounded by skills shortages in areas like software engineering and cybersecurity. The pay gap between public and private sectors is a major barrier, often being 40% lower. Additionally, misconceptions about the lack of excitement in public sector work deter tech professionals from applying. However, by addressing pay perceptions and highlighting the benefits of public sector technology roles, agencies can attract the necessary talent.
In many cases, the difference in remuneration between the public and private sectors isn’t as vast as often perceived, and public organizations can be competitive.
The belief that public sector technology roles are not as exciting as private industry jobs misleads tech talent, limiting their job searches to the private sector.
