We have been keeping a close eye on the most in demand Software Developer Jobs and demand for Skills within the last quarter of the year!
So in 2018, what are the tech skills employers look for the most?
The percentage of job listings with Python has overtaken C# as the third most in-demand skill. The most notable change since Q2 is the jump in demand for Java by 8%. Although it comes second place to JavaScript, it’s the skill which has grown most rapidly in popularity in the second half of the year. The rise in demand for Python skills may relate to the surge in development of machine learning and AI in the UK.
Despite ongoing political and economic uncertainty, businesses are optimistic and are
continuing with their recruitment plans in 2018. For the IT sector there is an unprecedented demand that exists for skilled technology professionals, driven by regulatory changes, digital transformation projects and a continued emphasis on cyber security.
The competition for talent in the sector is intensifying, and for employers looking at
other ways to attract and retain skilled candidates is essential to avoid the negative
consequences of skills shortages such as a decrease in productivity, low employee
morale and hampered growth.
