Sequoia Unveils Atlas: A Dynamic Guide to Navigate the European Tech Talent Landscape

Sequoia, the venture capital firm, has launched an online interactive tool called Atlas, which provides an interactive guide to the European tech talent landscape. Although designed primarily with its own portfolio founders in mind, Atlas is also available to the general public. It incorporates data collected via various qualitative and quantitative methods, including a talent survey of 1,035 participants; a survey of 125 recruiters from European tech firms, 17 “in-depth” founder- and recruiter-led interviews, and aggregated data from third-party sources such as GitHub, SeekOut, Remote, Ledgy and Dealroom. The tool’s intention is to present a picture of the current European technical talent landscape, covering the 30 states of the European economic area, Switzerland, Ukraine and the UK. While London has the largest volume of engineers overall and in each individual discipline, Atlas shows the densest per-capita concentration of skills as part of its efforts to help users find the engineers with the skills needed to meet their requirements.
