If you Google the word ‘talent’ and click the news tab, hundreds of articles pop up about the tightest labor market in people's lifetime. This environment has been changing hiring practices, starting wages, and caused many companies to send out desperate cries for new workers, hoping to find talented individuals to fill the gap.

However, many employers are still unsatisfied with the amount of qualified applicants they’re receiving, despite the hundreds of thousands of workers still looking for a job. One way to tackle the issue that you won’t find being discussed as much in the news, is employers' ability to provide spaces to attract and develop talent.

This is something Michael Solomon and Rishon Blumberg understand well and have weaved into the very fabric of their company, 10x Management, an agency that connects the worlds best developers with projects around the workforce.

WIth both starting in the music industry working with legends such as Bruce Springstein, Sony Music, Epic Records, and Live Nation, representing, coaching, and developing talent is what these two specialize in. In 2020 they released their book, Game Changer: How To Be 10x in The Talent Economy diving into how companies, individuals, and teams can create a space where people can develop from good, to great, to 10x.
