The rise of the "Citizen Developer" and the end of the IT backlog
A Citizen Developer is an employee from a business unit (such as HR, Marketing, or Finance) who creates applications and automations for their own or their team's use, utilizing No-code/Low-code platforms like Jestor, without needing formal programming training.
Why this movement is inevitable
The world needs 500 million new apps in the next 5 years. There aren't enough programmers on the planet to build all that. The solution is to empower those who understand the problem. No one understands the pain of the hiring process better than the Recruiter. So why not give them the tool to build the solution?
Benefits for the Company
- Agility: The problem is solved in days, not months.
- Cost: Reduces the need to hire expensive senior developers for simple tasks.
- Fit: The software turns out exactly as the team needs it, because it was made by them.
