Gender Diversity Within Tech Services Senior Appointments, Jan 2022 - Feb 2023
Gender diversity in global senior Tech Services moves is healthy, but the gender hiring gap refuses to move TALNT is Sheffield Haworth’s proprietary AI-driven platform for tracking executive moves, which gathers and analyses all publicly-announced senior moves sourced from 3000+ reputable public sources around the globe.This inSights report reviews all the top senior moves across the Tech Services sector, which includes Telecoms Cloud services Cyber security Tech consulting Digital transformation Hosting and infrastructureAs well as analysing talent trends across the three key global regions of Americas, APAC, and EMEA, looking for any clear trends in gender diversity. Tech Services appointed more women to senior roles than average in the last 14 monthsimage.png 59.31 KB Although it’s not a like-for-like comparison, between January 2022 and February 2023, the Tech Services sector made more female senior appointments than the cross-industry global average for 2022, at 24.7% versus 20.5%. Tech services is one of the few global sectors where senior female appointments account for more than a quarter of senior hires.That said, the gender gap within the sector doesn’t seem to be improving – not according to the publicly-available statistics:image.png 65.48 KB If anything, the chart above shows that the gap only increases whenever overall demand increases. image.png 72.47 KB When it comes to the top hiring companies in the sector, the trends are more heartening. As the chart above shows, the majority of the top 10 hiring companies appointed a higher proportion of female senior talent than the sector average. This suggests that the leading companies may be setting a good example for the rest of the sector to follow. image.png 80.2 KBFollowed by the Americas and APAC regions, where the proportions are overall very similar: image.png 114.27 KB Gender diversity of top Tech Services C-suite roles in the past 14 months image.png 104.08 KBAgain, on a global level, the most in-demand roles show a healthy proportion of female appointments. Alongside those functions that traditionally see higher female participation across sectors – such as Chief People Officer, Chief Legal Officer, and Chief Marketing Officer – it is nice to see healthy representation for female talent in the less common roles of Chief Product Officer and Chief Information Officer.Taking a deeper dive into the numbers on a regional level, we see again some variation between the Americas and EMEA on the top C-suite roles, while the numbers in APAC were too small to see any statistical significance when it comes to gender: image.png 88.17 KB It is worth noting that, when analysing by C-suite role, the Americas region appears to be hiring a higher proportion of women than the EMEA region:image.png 214.34 KB
Senior Tech Services Moves, Jan 2022 – Feb 2023
First two months of 2023 see dramatic uptick in senior tech services appointmentsTALNT is Sheffield Haworth’s proprietary AI-driven platform for tracking executive moves, which gathers and analyses all publicly-announced senior moves sourced from 3000+ reputable public sources around the globe.This inSights report reviews all the top senior moves across the Tech Services sector, which includesTelecoms Cloud servicesCyber securityTech consultingDigital transformationHosting and infrastructureAs well as analysing talent trends across the three key global regions of Americas, APAC, and EMEA.Tech services senior moves have seen a sharp uptick in the first two months of this year image.png 50.3 KBLooking at the chart above, demand for senor talent across the tech services sector was robust throughout 2022, saving for a marked dip in demand in September of that year.  image.png 65.54 KBRegionally, the story is that senior moves in the Americas region remain much higher than EMEA or APAC, while demand in EMEA is slightly higher than APAC – at least, according to the publicly available sources. Significantly, the above chart shows a sharp increase in senior moves in all three major regions in January and February of this year. That said, the chart also shows a steady rise in demand for senior talent in Americas throughout the period. The more dramatic story is the rapid rise in demand for talent across all regions in the first two months of 2023. Let’s take a deeper dive into that: image.png 118.05 KBThe chart above shows a sharp increase in demand for talent within the sub-sectors of Telecoms, Cloud Services, and Cyber. It makes sense for demand for these three sectors to rise in step together, as they are a natural fit. At the same time, the corresponding rapid increase in Tech Consulting talent moves may be linked or coincidental. Some have speculated that this increase may be related somehow to the explosion in publicity and use of Microsoft’s ChatGPT AI technology. At present, any link remains speculative, but it is worth keeping an eye on this and other tech trends to see how they may impact upon overall demand for services longer term.  image.png 74.03 KBThe chart above shows the same sub-sector data in bubble chart form, as one way of seeing the same trends more clearly. In this chart, the rise in demand at the beginning of this clear is absolutely clear. Top tech services companies by senior moves  image.png 38.39 KBThe chart above shows which companies have hired the most senior talent between January 2022 and February of this year. When we take a deeper dive into this data by region, we see that the two companies who hired the most senior talent globally were based in EMEA (MTN) and APAC (Wipro). Indeed, even though the Americas dominates when it comes to tech services senior moves, when it comes to the top companies, the numbers are more evenly split, as we can see by the charts below: image.png 63.4 KB Top 10 senior roles in tech services image.png 39.51 KBGlobally, as is the case in most of the sectors we cover on TALNT, CEO roles dominated the list of C-suite roles appointed between January 2022 and February 2023. That CFOs came in second, followed by COOs is also unsurprising. When we take a look at the regional picture, it becomes a little more interesting, because, whereas US-based firms have been hiring across multiple C-suite roles: image.png 83.31 KB In EMEA and APAC, the hiring has been concentrated almost exclusively within those top three roles, with the rest of the C-suite barely getting a look in – especially in EMEA. This trend certainly suggests that the Americas is the more active – and perhaps also the more developed – talent market of the three regions.

I read the TALNT email everyday- 90% of the time it tells me about moves I’m not aware of. Great tool to keep touch with the market.

TALNT could save PE firms a ton of money as a search tool, they spend millions $$ a year on ‘expert networks’ to get smart on companies and sectors( pre/post investment) often connecting with senior execs who have departed companies.
