what it is
Conducted by our Talent Intelligence team, Randstad Enterprise’s Global In-demand Skills research aggregates, normalizes and analyzes global employment data from multiple sources and across six dimensions to uncover which professional skills are seeing the highest demand. As part of this research, we analyzed over 10 million job postings and 136 million CVs assessed on a skill level and over 300 million on meta-data level. This work was conducted in the third quarter of 2024.

how to use it
Employers can use this market intelligence to drive smarter decisions about how, when and where they hire; which skills they’ll need to develop internally; and how decisions, like remote working policies, can impact retention. You can explore hiring complexity data using the global charts on this page, or dive deeper into each skill cluster using the drop-down option on the top of the page to learn more about compensation, gender diversity, sub-skills needed, remote working preferences and more.

what’s new for in this release
While, historically the Global In-demand Skills research has analyzed data for roles that are traditionally office-based and non-manual — also known as “white-collar” — this year, we’ve added baseline analysis on a number of typically non-office-setting or manual roles — also known as “blue-collar” and/or “skilled trades.” Distinctions are made in this research for clarification purposes, as year-over-year data only represents the white-collar skill clusters that have been previously represented in the In-demand Skills research and because the JVRs for skilled trades are contextualized differently.
This year, the research also includes filters that allow you to see how adding AI skills to any skill cluster impacts talent supply and hiring complexity. That means, you can easily understand how challenging it will be to find senior marketing professionals who know how to advance their work using AI tools.
