Companies are increasingly desperate to find digital talent. The salaries of ICT specialists in Barcelona and Madrid have risen by more than 20% between 2020 and 2021 and the working conditions offered by companies are increasingly generous: unlimited vacations, telecommuting, freedom of schedules, training programs. .. The interest in capturing and retaining these professionals is enormous. The pandemic has accelerated the technological needs of all types of companies and now, the ability to generate and import talent does not cover the growth in demand. The phenomenon is aggravated among SMEs and small start-ups that do not have as much capacity as multinationals to raise wages and improve conditions. In this sense, the landing of digital hubs of large companies is detrimental to small businesses. We believe it is necessary to promote digital training programs among young people and also among unemployed people. The high demand for ICT profiles can help reduce unemployment.
