Ad World Desires Multicultural Tech Talent


The article talks about how difficult it is for agencies and brands to compete with startups for the brightest tech minds. It is even harder when you're also looking for diverse talent that inherently understands African-American, Latino and Asian consumers.

In short, multicultural tech recruits appear to be at a premium. The problem is more complex because agencies and digital-focused firms are not the only entities getting into the tech game. At an increasing rate, brands (the client side) are, too. Walmart, Coke and Mondelez International are just a few big names that are taking digital in-house and grabbing as much top-shelf tech talent along the way as they can.
