Demand for developers is soaring - and employers are struggling to hire

Tech hiring hasn't been this high since 2016, meaning that the number of jobs on offer is breaking new records despite the COVID-19 pandemic. Tech jobs have rarely been hotter: job search engine Adzuna has reported that for the past few months, there have been consistently over 100,000 tech job offers per week live on the platform, with one week in May even seeing an unprecedented peak of 132,000 offers. The data, which was compiled for the UK government's digital economy council, suggests that the industry is recovering from the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic at pace. In comparison, last June saw tech vacancies fall to less than 44,000 offers. Upskilling will be a part of work's new normal.
