It’s been a challenging year for organisations across the United Kingdom. 2022 began with the struggle to find and hire talent.
"As the year went on, the energy crisis worsened, national leadership saw significant turnover, and economic policies shifted. Many companies pulled back on scaling teams and even laid off workers they’d hired only months before.
Despite these obstacles, signs indicate global remote hiring remains confident in Europe, with employers especially interested in experienced talent with specialised skill sets.
At Hired, we aspire to make hiring as efficient, equitable, and transparent as possible, for the best experience for all parties. Whether backfilling roles or advancing initiatives, we help companies of all sizes fill tech and sales roles with unbiased insights, diversity, equity & inclusion (DEI) tools, skills assessments, and dedicated Customer Success managers.
In this report, we’ve specifically studied software engineers on the Hired marketplace to identify the top issues and trends. This includes looking at the most in-demand skills and roles, salaries, and shifts to remote hiring
We provide more details in the Methodology section, but this is based on more than 76K interview requests (IVRs) between employers and (more than 9K) candidates on the Hired marketplace. We’ve supplemented the platform data with survey responses from more than 1300 software engineers and 120 talent professionals and Hiring managers.
We aim to provide organisations with takeaways to better attract and retain talent and insights to help software engineers succeed in their careers."
