Trends

Organizations across the country built their tech stacks on a handful of popular technologies, including programming languages such as Python and SQL, cloud platforms such as Amazon Web Services (AWS) and Microsoft Azure, and cutting-edge technologies such as automation. Job posting data makes it clear that hiring managers and recruiters are on the hunt for technology professionals who have mastered these popular technologies and can use them to iterate and evolve tech stacks.

At the same time, many employers are thinking ahead to the future, and hiring those technology professionals who have a grasp of emerging technologies that could make a huge difference in coming decades. For that reason, artificial intelligence and machine learning saw notable year-over-year growth. And, as more organizations awaken to the importance of data science to their long-term future, there’s equally intense demand for R (a programming language used in data analysis), Power BI, data science and related disciplines.

Many organizations (particularly larger tech companies) hired exuberantly during the first half of the year, only to start tightening their proverbial belts in the face of economic uncertainty. However, these technologies are so fundamental to modern business operations, and so critical for the foreseeable future, that employers will likely continue hiring for them no matter what.

As a result of continuing high demand for talent, organizations in need of data analytics, automation and programming talent may want to consider upskilling their current staff for these skills. Upskilling comes with an added benefit: many technology professionals cite training and educational opportunities as a key benefit, and they’re more likely to stay with an organization willing to offer it. Considering the challenges of retaining key talent, that’s not something easily ignored.
