Abstract

The world has been recovering from the COVID-19 pandemic and is coming towards its post-pandemic era. Although many IT companies have experienced big growth during the pandemic caused by the increasing demand of several kinds of services, finding highly skilled IT professionals is essential to the expansion of the business and was never an easy task, even before the pandemic. The leveraging of remote work during the last years collaborated substantially with companies in order to expand their teams across the globe and find talented people that would never have been found within the pre-pandemic environment. However, apart from the new working models and environments in the IT sector, the FOSS model always posed as an outstanding framework not only to leverage projects but also to help in finding talented people throughout the world. This short chapter presents a brief overview about how FOSS can be used to help companies leverage their businesses and expand teams by reaching professionals with a good matching profile.
