Your Software Development recruitment questions, answered

What are the biggest Software Development trends in 2022?

A key area that will see rapid growth and increasing competition is DevOps, as organisations of all sizes continue striving to deliver applications and services faster.Additionally, investment in AI is continuously growing as organisations want to make use of Machine Learning and Natural Language Processing.
This means more developers will be needed to build AI functionality into software applications.Further developments in the use of VR, AR and MR will also create a need for more development expertise in these areas.  

Which Software Development technologies are in high demand? 

Competition remains high for developers experience in Python. Within the AI and Machine Learning space, C++ is especially prized.
 
Most employers are on the lookout for Full Stack Developers wth expertise in Javascript frameworks like React and Node, as well as Python, Golang, Flutter, React Native, Java, and .Net Core, among others.  
Requirements for those with expertise in cloud-based technologies and DevOps has seen exponential growth, causing demand for AWS, Docker, Kubernetes and GCP skills to continue to rise across several areas.  

What soft skills should I look for in a Software Developer? 

It’s no longer enough for Software Developers to be programming language experts.Increasingly, organisations are seeing the benefit of hiring people with a slew of soft skills such as problem-solving and creativity.  
 
Most importantly, look for who can collaborate efficiently with both local and remote teams. Excellent communicators will also be a valuable addition to your teams, especially those who are able to deliver their ideas effectively to both technical and non-technical stakeholders within the business.

Aside from a good salary, what can I do to attract top Software Developers? 

Given the last few years, Developers have become more vocal about their desire for remote working. As competition gets stronger, consider implementing policies that provide higher work flexibility as a way to attract top developers to your company.
 
And while you use the technology or projects that your developers will be working on as way to entice them, don’t forget about the technology they’re working from – Developers want to work on good, if not the latest hardware, so making allowances for powerful devices, especially when they’re working from home, will be a strong selling point!
