TOP TEN IN-DEMAND TECH JOBS IN 2023

 

The importance of digital infrastructure has increased greatly in the last three years, becoming a necessity for all organisations. This has led to a rapid increase in the number of available tech jobs, as demand for tech professionals continues to outpace supply across the globe.

 

Market leader, Hays, has analysed the data for recent hiring trends and examined the roles its clients are recruiting for to determine the top ten in-demand tech jobs in 2023.

 

• The most sought-after professionals aren’t necessarily those with hard skills related to technology knowledge, but those that can oversee projects and provide insights.
• As digital transformation and innovation continue across the globe, developers and engineers are in demand.
• While organisations have had time to adapt to change, transformation is still happening and the people to oversee this process are still required.

 

James Milligan, Hays Global Head of Technology Solutions, commented on the in-demand tech jobs, “Organisations need people who will take responsibility for running IT projects and working closely with all those involved. While other jobs in our top ten list require hard skills, these roles revolve around soft skills and seeing the bigger picture of the overall strategy.

 

James continued, “There’s still a high demand for people with technical knowledge. Developers and engineers will design and build both the products for internal and external use. It’s also here that DevOps engineers continue to be in high demand, given the scope they have. Organisations also need people to extract the data and provide insights to the business in the form of actionable solutions. Protecting sensitive data, especially Customer data via Information Security and Cyber Security best-practise is also a high priority for many companies. One key skill that will be desirable is adaptability. Many workers will be operating in environments of growth or transformation and being agile will be an asset.”
