Many organizations that run their businesses on the Progress OpenEdge
platform may inadvertently limit their talent pool by focusing solely on
candidates with extensive OpenEdge experience. While hiring experienced
professionals may seem like the ideal solution, offering immediate
expertise and minimal training needs, this approach will significantly
narrow recruitment options. It limits access to emerging talent,
increases hiring costs—whether from extended job vacancies or the
premium required for experienced developers—and may not align with
long-term growth and innovation strategies. Balancing experience with
potential can help organizations build more adaptable, future ready
teams.
Watch this video to learn how to successfully hire and
train OpenEdge developers, even if already-qualified candidates are in
short supply. With the right approach, you can create a team that propels your business forward.
