Abstract or project description

The student wants to investigate how recent changes in the economy, labor market and corporate workplace is impacting hiring & retention rates when it comes to technology startups. She wants to find out what the key drivers for retaining talent are, what workers in the technology industry are looking for when applying for a position (and what makes them leave), as well as how HR & C-level executives are perceiving the issue and what they're doing about it. She will conduct a desk research on the topic, including a qualitative and a quantitative analysis, as well as interviews with workers in the industry, HR managers, C-level executives, and investors, to help answer her overarching question. After coming up with a diagnosis of the situation, the student will try to address the problem by coming up with potential solutions that could be implemented by tech startups.
