ROCHESTER, N.Y., Jan. 31, 2023 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- Ceipal, the industry-leading AI-powered talent acquisition platform, released an industry report today, outlining the hottest jobs and skills in IT & Engineering for the start of 2023. According to the 2022 edition of Ceipal's Industry Report, entitled "The Most In-demand Job Skills in IT & Engineering: Addressing the Tech Skills Shortage," Software Engineer positions account for 40 percent of job postings listed on the top 20 most in-demand jobs. Meanwhile, Java topped the list for most in-demand job skills posted.
"As the leading AI-powered talent acquisition solutions provider, we have access to data from more than 60,000 recruiters worldwide, which we're able to anonymize and study," said Ceipal Founder and CEO Sameer Penakalapati. "It's important for us to share the resulting industry insights with our customers, our peers in the staffing world, and the talent community at large. Given the current talent shortage, we believe that such critical research will help ensure that no talent is left behind in the year ahead."
The report was based on more than 85,000 job listings that were posted via Ceipal's ATS for the contingent IT & Engineering workforce. The report also revealed the highest paying jobs as well as the highest paying states within the sector.
