Why search for scarce talent

Organizations today face an increasingly urgent challenge: finding the right people. The labor market is tight across nearly every sector. Recruiters, job boards, and headhunters are busier than ever, yet the true specialists remain scarce and expensive.

Traditionally, the solution has been simple: hire more people. But is that approach still realistic today?

Rethinking the problem: from hiring to empowering

What if we flipped the problem around? Instead of focusing solely on searching for scarce experts, why not empower existing employees with the right tools to achieve more?

Modern technology makes it possible to simplify tasks that once required specialist expertise. The result? Employees without years of WAN experience can still manage and secure complex networks effectively.

A real-world example

Many ICT companies and system integrators are desperately looking for experienced network administrators, experts who understand every detail of a Wide Area Network (WAN). The problem? These specialists are scarce, expensive, and difficult to attract.

The traditional approach means endlessly searching for that proverbial needle in a haystack. But there’s another way. Imagine if your current system administrators or IT staff had access to a powerful platform that allowed them to manage a WAN without needing deep, specialized knowledge.

Smart automation as the key

Thanks to innovative solutions, like the Wanscale platform, many of the tasks involved in WAN management are now automated. Configuration, monitoring, failover, and security no longer require niche expertise; they can be managed by your own team.

The benefits are twofold: your organization can operate more efficiently without costly hiring processes, while your employees gain new opportunities for growth and career development.

Modern tools over outdated solutions

The demand for skilled personnel will always exist. But in a world where experts are increasingly scarce and costly, it’s time to take a broader view. By investing in modern tools, you empower your team, keep costs under control, and prevent specialist knowledge from becoming a bottleneck.

Why stick to outdated patterns when today’s technology helps you work smarter and faster?

Born and raised in Rijsbergen as the son of an entrepreneurial family, I have gained a wide range of experiences in various sectors from an early age. At the age of twenty, I took my first steps into the ICT industry, and by thirty, I had started my first IT company. Over the years, I have acquired in-depth knowledge and experience in network solutions.

Most people probably know me from IP Visie, the company I co-founded with my partner Fouad, where we both worked for over 15 years. During that time, we gained extensive experience in building a core network distributed across multiple data centers. It was there that I truly learned how crucial data communication is and how the world is becoming increasingly dependent on reliable and secure connectivity.

Connectivity is a patchwork of different technologies, networks, and equipment. It requires the right knowledge and experience to seamlessly integrate all these elements and build complex solutions. This challenging and dynamic field continues to fascinate me, especially as communication plays an ever-growing role in how we work and live.

In my free time, I enjoy staying active and taking long rides on my gravel bike. As a true bon vivant, I love good food and prefer spending my vacations in Italy, my favorite destination.
