Design industry taking steps to recruit higher-level talent

Like many industries these days, professionals in the architecture and design business have a common refrain: we can’t find all the talent we need to do the job. Experienced mid-level professionals are commanding higher salaries and more perks from firms. Even recent college grads are seeing a bump in pay and more competition for their services, according to Atlanta area architects. These days business is strong, but the profession is still feeling the hangover of the last economic downturn.

Incoming AIA Atlanta president Ian Hunter seeks to diversify architecture

Ian Hunter did not quite understand the dynamic when, weeks after moving to Atlanta about seven years ago from Bucks County, Pa., he called the offices of the American Institute of Architects (AIA) Atlanta chapter and declared he was running for president. The current president called Hunter and said, “It’s nice to see you’re interested in becoming involved in AIA but…who the heck are you?” recalled Hunter, an associate principal at tvsdesign, with a laugh. “He said, ‘You’re new to Atlanta. Take some time and establish your roots here.’” Hunter did, and next year will become AIA Atlanta president.

Add in supply-chain issues, continued high demand and the possibility of mortgage-rate hikes, buyers and sellers could be more active this winter than they traditionally are.

Andre Dickens wins runoff, Atlanta business leaders weigh in on top priorities
