The top 9 global in-demand skills :

Labor markets around the world have cooled considerably since last year’s Global In-demand Skills Research took place.

Since then, the hiring trends have normalized, and most of them expect that they will further stabilize in 2024. The talent scarcity persists. Since the challenges of the global talent shortage are structural, you can expect some further demographic changes, high demand for specialized skills, the rapid adoption of new technologies, and a constant outflow of talent from the global labor market.

Enterprise employers will continue to see stiff competition for these 9 in-demand skill clusters through most of 2024:

  1. AI and automation
  2. audit and compliance
  3. cloud computing
  4. customer service
  5. data science and analytics
  6. engineering and maintenance
  7. finance and accounting
  8. marketing, content, and advertising
  9. software project management and leadership

Understanding skills and human potential:

This list of high-demand skills is based on a long-term perspective of talent scarcity that the global labor market suggests. That’s why employers must consider the long-term impacts of their current, arguably unsustainable, skills acquisition strategies. Because scarcity continues, more talent leaders are driving the shift to skills-based talent strategies where companies consider the potential of every person, rather than just the experience and hard skills that they already possess. In a truly skills-based organization or industry, this thinking extends beyond the hiring process to the whole workforce across career journeys overall.

That’s why the latest Global In-demand Skills research — conducted by our Talent Intelligence team, who verified, normalized, and analyzed millions of job postings and talent profiles from the most representative sources across 23 markets globally — not only provides insights on nine major high-demand skill clusters, but the learned core skills, innate sub-skills and key motivations that are important to success in those roles.

People with advanced technical skills will necessitate the need for specialists supporting project management, implementation, and adoption of new technologies and workflows.
