Investing in talented website developers is not simply a case of
hiring those with a flickering of talent and then sourcing them out
to the most suitable positions. Website developers tend to fall
within one of two categories: the risk-takers and the ‘safe bets’.
A good website developer has a general idea of what he or she wishes
to achieve in his life, and having advanced into a promising career
at an early age, he or she is probably looking for security, in terms
of a steady job and good quality of life for a family. Both the safe
and risk-taking website developers want these same goals, however,
the gamblers do not always wish to be tied down by managers and
strict working hours, and tend to float around the market more,
finding new technologies and trends to which they are able to evolve.
Others may cautiously invest in numerous companies, to stay ahead of
the game and to ensure greater long-term success for themselves,
instead of falling at new technological hurdles. Some website
developers too change options freely, walking away from a situation
that displeases them.
Whether it is the investor or the website developer who has the final
say, there is a constant power balance, a ‘survival of the fittest’
in a highly saturated and competitive industry that has become one of
the world’s most powerful in less than fifty years.
Most website developers are aware of the friction within their
industry, and quickly become wise to it. Human capital is kept secure
by a balance of those developers who take risks, and those that do
not. All realise the true powers of the Internet, and do not wish to
fall to the bottom of its food chain.
Not only are there various risks for the developers, the investors
too have to understand these risks: such as discovering any weak
links before they become toxic. In development talent searching, it
is not always clear from the beginning who can and cannot make the
grade, so therefore the investors must be assured that any
incompetence can be caught early. The developers must be thought of
as risk categories, and the investor can take whatever gamble he
wishes on them, depending on his own capital, success, and personal
motives. Talents are offered scholarships and work experience as the
investors seek to build relationships with the website developers
before, during, and after employment. A good website developer will
often praise a technology or company long after he has left it.
