Our 2025 research shows that experienced talent,regardless of roles or skills, continues to be challenging toacquire, especially in some regions. Whether companiesare looking for AI engineers, marketing content creators ormaintenance specialists, jobs requiring considerable yearsof experience remain in high demand and difficult to fill.Trends show this problem will likely exacerbate in the future.One clear reason is a marked decline in demand for juniortalent today. This could lead to future scarcity of mid-andlater-career workers whose seasoned expertise is critical tosuccessful people management and business outcomes. executivesummary. Over the last year, the supply of in-demand talent hassteadily grown in places such as India due to new entrantsinto the labor market. At the same time, demand for skillshas declined in numerous markets with a few notableexceptions. For instance, in the U.S., demand for juniortalent has fallen by close to one-third but increased bysingle-digits for experienced workers. In India, the gapin hiring complexity for experienced and junior roles isthe highest among all markets; employers hiring here areexperiencing scarcity for mid- and senior-level talent. The challenges of talent scarcity have not gone away butare shifting as businesses embark in a world of reimaginedwork, AI-powered efficiency and a constant race to innovateahead of the competition. Conducted by ourTalent Intelligenceteam, RandstadEnterprise’s 2025Global In-demand Skills researchhascompiled, aggregated, normalized and analyzed globalemployment data from multiple sources and across fivedimensions to uncover which professional skills are seeingthe highest demand. As part of this study, we analyzed morethan 22 million job postings and 166 million CVs assessed ona skill level and over 380 million on a meta-data level. Thisdata was collected over the course of a year and reflectsa more precise view of the skills available to employers in24 markets around the world. What’s clear is that demand for highly specialized skills is notdeclining, regardless of geography, and this has made hiringchallenging for many. As expected, workers with AI andautomation competencies remain in high demand, but thisyear our research finds the average yearly job vacancy rate(JVR) — which provides a clear view of just how challengingit is to acquire talent — to be highest for data scientists andmarketing talent. high-demand skill clustersfor 2025 top skilledtrades top white-collarskills The 2025 Global In-demand Skills Research confirmsthat, while the levels of demand have changed over recentyears, the top high-demand clusters remain unchanged.These include nine white-collar skill clusters (traditionallyoffice-based, non-manual) and four skilled trade families(typically non-office-setting or manual roles) that arechallenging to hire for in 24 markets. Distinctions are madein this research for clarification purposes, as job vacancyrates for skilled trades are contextualized differently. maintenance & repairmanufacturing & plant operationsnursing & medical careretail & direct sales AI & automationaudit & compliancecloud computingcustomer servicedata science & analyticsengineering & maintenancefinance & accountingmarketing, content & advertisingsoftware project management & leadership One of the trends we continue to observe is the impact of AIon the labor market — affecting the demand for skills, talentmobility and compensation. In this year’s research, we foundthat 19% of those in the AI cluster have changed jobs. Thiswas the most fluid category, followed by data science andanalytics at 18%. signs of cautiousoptimism ahead year-over-year skilldemand changes Labor markets have slowed since we last reported on theskills most in-demand. As a result, talent in some categorieshave become more readily available, while scarcity hasworsened for other skill clusters. For example, some techskills are now red-hot, while others have become moreabundant as the number of skilled talent grows. Thisshift is helping to alleviate some of the hiring bottlenecksemployers experienced a few years ago. Overall, however,the number of white-collar jobs posted — especially forjunior roles — has declined. In terms of demand, AI and automation job listings haveincreased 39.6%. At the same time, however, there is littleto no change in demand for the data science and analytics,cloud computing, and audit and compliance skill clusters,while the average volume of advertised jobs for in-demandskills has declined by approximately 12%. Our research was conducted by normalizing and analyzingmillions of job postings and talent profiles from the mostrepresentative sources across 24 markets globally. Inaddition to collecting data for the most in-demand learnedskills, we also examined CVs and roles mentioning inherentskills. For these inherent skills, we assessed the impact of AIon supply and demand. A silver lining in the data: The weaker numbers occurredmostly
