Addressing the Tech Talent Shortage with Linc Kroeger

According to a survey of hiring decision-makers by Indeed, 86% of respondents find it challenging to find and hire Tech talent and 56% of respondents have hired Tech talent despite the candidates not meeting the job description requirements.

Linc Kroeger is the President of Knight Moves, a limiting profit company creating the next generation of elite technology professionals through extensive training in technology disciplines, with an intentional focus on empowering Native American, rural, and urban underserved communities to break through barriers that block socio-economic inclusion.

Linc’s passion for fighting social inequality led him to leverage his 35 years enterprise technology experience to create a creative solution to help level the playing field while also delivering technology solutions for the world’s most important causes. Linc served on the Technology Association of Iowa board for three years.

He was assigned by Governor Kim Reynolds to her Empower Rural Iowa Task Force and has been identified as “the most innovative leader on bringing tech jobs to rural in the nation” by U.S. Congressmember Ro Khanna representing Silicon Valley. He has also been recognized as “Top National Rural Influencer” by The Ruralist and was the USDA Rural Prosperity Tour keynote speaker. He joined me this week to tell me more.
