Next Week! Tech Talent Trends with Martha Heller and Art Hopkins

Will the white hot market for tech talent continue in 2023? What are the trends/themes that CIOs should be paying attention to over the next 12-18 months? Joining me next week to unpack these and other questions are two of the top executive recruiters in the CIO retained search space.

Martha Heller is the CEO of Heller Search Associates and author of several books as well as the e-newsletter for IT executives, “The Heller Report.” Art Hopkins is Executive Director of Russell Reynolds Associates’ Information Officer search practice, co-leader of the firm’s D&I practice, and a longtime advisor to the podcast. They’ll be sharing their perspectives on the state of the industry and the CxO role, how CIOs can attract and retain top talent, and advice for both candidates and CIOs when it comes to working with executive recruiters.
