With computer-related STEM jobs predicted to grow 12.5% by 2024, according to statistics on bls.gov, the need for new hires with this skill set is apparent.

You can, however, sway STEM job seekers to come your way by changing the focus on what matters. Talk about the unique kinds of opportunities you can offer, such as greater autonomy, easier access to higher levels of management and a more nimble working environment — all things larger-scale companies may have trouble matching.
