VR, machine learning drive tech job market

Job-seekers who possess those skills typically could expect multiple job offers, says Matt Leighton, director of recruitment at Mondo, which specializes in digital marketing and technology staffing.

Another area that's driving demand for skilled talent is virtual reality. Demand for machine learning experts and virtual reality pros is spiking as enterprise adoption of these technologies grows.
