<p>A study by a major job portal has revealed that technology-related job openings have grown steadily in demand over the last five years, although the study also showed that many of the jobs have become hard to fill.</p>.<p>The job site, Indeed, an American company which bills itself as the world’s largest job portal, said that technology job roles in India increased by an overall 8% between February 2014 and February 2019. From February 2018 to February 2019, such job roles grew by 31%, while job searches for these roles during the same period increased by 8%.</p>.<p>However, Indeed’s data also showed that 30% of jobs requiring technical skills in India had become “hard to fill” - revealing that the rate at which the demand for skilled technology employees is outstripping the rate at which skilled technology talent is available.</p>.<p>This development also appears to indicate that a lack of reskilling is rendering many job seekers outdated as far as current market requirements go. According to a March 2019 report by the International Labour Organisation, a large proportion of businesses in the United States, Brazil, India and Germany reported that they were looking “for quite different skills in new recruits than three years ago.”</p>.<p>In the US, the figure was 61%. In India, however, the figure is 66 per cent. The hardest the fill job was Development Operations Manager, followed by database specialist, senior information technology manager, systems programmer and web administrator.</p>.<p>Over 50% of jobs posted in the sector require applicants to be skilled in Java programming.</p>.<p>“Job profiles are evolving and changing at a pace that can be matched by talent, provided they acquire the requisite skills,” said Sashi Kumar, Managing Director of Indeed India.</p>
