Growing hiring challenges prompt companies to adapt their talent strategies
Helsinki, Finland, May 21, 2025 – Companies that rely on Atlassian tools are facing a serious hiring challenge: demand for Atlassian professionals is surging, but the right expertise is increasingly difficult to find, and it isn’t likely to improve. According to Eficode’s 2025 State of Atlassian Talent report, 67% of hiring managers are actively seeking Atlassian talent. Yet, more than half of the total respondents believe the talent pool is already too small.
Even more concerning, the shortage of certified and highly skilled professionals is widening the gap between business needs and available expertise. Many companies are struggling not just to hire, but to hire effectively, risking stalled projects, inefficient tool usage, and higher costs due to misaligned skill sets.
This report uncovers the key challenges businesses face in securing Atlassian talent and provides data-driven insights to help organizations refine their hiring strategies before the gap grows even wider.
With competition for Atlassian professionals at an all-time high, companies must explore more flexible and efficient ways to secure the expertise they need.
"We believe that Atlassian tools are only as powerful as the people behind them. This report highlights the critical role of expertise in unlocking their full potential and the challenges businesses face in finding the right talent,” says Simon Wood, CEO of Eficode UK and US. “Organizations that understand this intersection of tools and talent will be the ones that drive innovation and long-term success.”
For companies struggling to find the right talent, partnering with an Atlassian-specialized recruitment service like Eficode Contractor Hub provides access to rigorously tested professionals who can integrate quickly and help businesses meet their goals, without the uncertainty of traditional hiring.
The full 2025 State of Atlassian Talent report is available on the Eficode website.
