We talk about a talent shortage all the time, and that\u2019s true. There are more technical jobs in the market than people! It can leave organisations constantly feeling like they\u2019re hiring for these roles, as talent is hard to come across. That is unless you\u2019re a senior leader. (Insert cricket noise here). There are currently more senior leaders than CDO jobs, which means as soon as one open ups, it\u2019s pandemonium. Which is probably why you don\u2019t see many advertised. Most senior positions are filled through being headhunted. Clients come to us, as they want us to go seek out the best possible in our community and beyond, rather than being inundated with applications.\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

So, with few jobs, and more senior execs than you can shake a data-stick at, how can you stand out from the crowd? How do you get headhunted?\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Both internally and internally, you have to be visible. In the work you\u2019re doing, in the value you\u2019re creating and the business success you\u2019re seeing \u2013 people must know about it. When I was younger the late Lord Paddy Ashdown once told me in relation to campaigning <\/span>\u201cIf the press doesn\u2019t know about it, you may as well not to have done it. People have to know about the changes you\u2019re trying to make\u201d<\/span><\/i> \u2013 and I think he was 100% on the money. If your business doesn\u2019t know the value you\u2019re delivering, then have you really delivered it? And if they don\u2019t know about it, why would they promote you and further support your journey.\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
