Do you need experts while recruiting Adobe Experience Manager (AEM) talent?

A few months ago, I developed pain in my stomach. So, I went to my family physician, who suggested some generic medicines, which didn't work. He then suspected it could be ulcers and prescribed a few other drugs, which didn't work either.?

That's when he referred me to a gastroenterologist – a specialist for my needs.?

He asked me to run some tests, and he figured there was an infection in my intestine, which was causing the pain.?

He prescribed a few medicines and some lifestyle changes, and it worked. Since then, I have been happy and healthy.?

When it comes to your body, you invariably seek the help of a specialist when there is something complex.?

Likewise, you go to an accountant to file your taxes because they give you expert advice on saving taxes. When you sign a legal document with a partner, you go to a lawyer because they have the practical experience of seeing through issues.?

Similarly, when recruiting resources on Adobe Experience Manager, you should go to an expert, not a generalist.?

Why do you need an expert for AEM??

We have been using a recruitment agency that has addressed all our IT recruitment needs for the past three years. They do a great job, and why should I look at someone else when it comes to AEM??

With AEM, you can quickly create personalized experiences customers demand. Too bad it is not easy to find AEM talents to implement, customize, enhance the functionality, monitor, and maintain it.?

To better understand, let me take you through the challenges specific to AEM resources.?

We have worked in the Adobe Experience Manager talent market for the past two years. We have seen organizations that haven't been able to close a position for nine months, which we helped them close within weeks.?

We have seen most circumstances that you can encounter in hiring AEM talents. Some of the key challenges that we met are:?

1. Organizations fail to offer benefits that match the skillsets of resources
2. Supply and demand for AEM talents have not stabilized. With the growing demand, the supply has been declining, making recruiting difficult. Finding top talent in a shallow talent pool can take weeks, months, or sometimes years. It might be tempting to hire someone who is just about AEM-fluent.?
3. Specialized recruitment goes hand in hand with the consultation. As a specialist, we advise organizations against unrealistic expectations. The underlying technology for AEM is traditional IT skills like Java, JSP, Sling, OSGI, etc. So, most often, organizations put AEM talents in the same compensation bracket, which doesn't work. These skills and AEM experience add up more than the sum of the parts

This delays projects, deadlines, and revenue for the business.?

We are solution partners of AEM, where we have had great success integrating and implementing AEM for many of our customers, besides our recruitment practices. We just love AEM, and Adobe has done a terrific job with it, and we see large-scale migrations from other content management systems to AEM.?

We have the technical nous to talk to an AEM developer in the language they are comfortable with – be it OSGi or Servlets.?

So, we fully understand the challenges involved in acquiring AEM talents. Here are some ground realities.?

1. Are AEM candidates hard to find??
2. Are there 40 jobs for every candidate looking for work??
3. Is the average candidate on the market for <3 days?
4. Are you wasting time, money, and energy using recruitment generalists to fill this type of role for you??

From our experience, the answer to all these questions is a resounding Yes.?

hope you get the drift.?

Conclusion?

We work daily to build and maintain relationships with AEM developers with our knowledge and experience of the AEM world. This can really come in handy and help save hundreds of wasted hours and efforts.?

You have already spent a fortune procuring the AEM license, so get the specialists to help with your recruitment and put your offering out on the market soon.?

Thank you for reading. We are always excited about providing helpful information.?
