Technical Recruiters’ List of Top 10 Tech Skills in 2023

1. Data Science And Analytics

Why Does Data Science Top the List? Data science skills are a must for all companies increasing digital maturity levels, which covers 70% of firms across industry sectors.

When the demand is mapped with the talent with specializations in computer science, statistics, Python, and R and experience in machine learning, predictive modeling, and Big Data technologies, the availability figures range between 40%-60% in most countries.

Map Your Talent Needs: If you are planning to hire data science teams or hire data analytics teams, you will need to recruit data engineers, data communicators, Big Data engineers, project coordinators, business process analysts, and experts in computer science and statistics.

2. Cloud Computing

Why Cloud Computing Skills Are Most in Demand: Post 2020, the migration to Cloud has become a critical need for a majority of companies in different sectors. The market size is projected to go beyond USD 2,300 billion by 2032, as per authoritative industry reports.

With the help of a technical recruitment agency, entry-level jobs in Cloud computing can be quickly filled by harnessing talent from key locations in Asia-Pacific, but senior talent is hard-to-find and often seized by the biggest players in any industry. We are talking about Cloud architect skills that include expertise in virtualization and service-oriented architecture or managerial roles in Cloud DevOps engineering and Cloud security.

Map Your Talent Needs: If you are planning to hire Cloud engineer teams, consider certification levels and experience in OpenStack, Linux, AWS Cloud certifications, Google Cloud certifications, and Microsoft Azure. You also need experts in APIs, Cloud security, DevOps, and databases. Google Certified Professional Cloud Architect certification is among the highest paying, for which compensation can cross $140,000.

3. Artificial Intelligence (AI)

Why AI jobs have high market demand: AI is not about a set of applications or architecture – it pervades ten thousands of functions across industries. AI is what makes any application intelligent by itself.

The industry demand for AI talent is immeasurable. Chatbots, banking applications, fitness applications, drones, medical devices, biometric applications, location-based applications, game apps, Big Data analysis…the list can count 1000+ functions.

Although the potential for AI is tremendous, people with the right qualifications and experience might cover only up to 20% of the demand, as per top technical employment agencies.

Map Your Talent Needs: You need detailed plans before you hire AI researchers, AI product designers, neural network specialists, AI robotics professionals, or business intelligence AI engineers. Each project will need a different combination of skill sets. It is better to consult with a technical recruitment agency that has mapped the market for the skills you need.

4. Big Data Engineering

Why Big Data engineering demand remains high: Most companies with a huge digital infrastructure in sectors such as retail, healthcare, BFSI, manufacturing, gaming and entertainment, and telecommunication require Big Data management to process the zillions of data flowing in every day.

Technical recruiter companies indicate that the market size for Big Data jobs can only triple by 2030. It is reportedly projected to cross $684.12. The worldwide job markets for senior and top-level professionals in Big Data Engineering and Management are quite tight, creating compensation structures that cross $151,300.

Map Your Talent Needs: To hire senior Big Data engineer teams, you will be looking at 5-10 years of experience in Hadoop, Apache Spark, data mining and modeling, data warehousing, and data structuring and standardization. A technical recruitment agency with experience in Big Data recruitment is your best source for Big Data engineering.

5. DevOps Engineering

Why DevOps demand is skyrocketing: Whether companies need real-time monitoring, incident management, collaboration platforms, Cloud computing, or configuration management, DevOps adoption is the biggest need.

No wonder with the rising need for digitalization, DevOps needs are seeing a corresponding rise. Technical employment agencies report that talent mobility is huge in this domain. Global tech recruitment expertise will become a necessity to find talent quickly.

Map Your Talent Needs: To hire for DevOps projects, you will be considering the recruitment of DevOps software developers, DevOps security engineers, DevOps Cloud engineers, DevOps release managers, DevOps automation architects, and DevOps quality assurance and experience assurance professionals.

6. Information Security

Why Information Security roles are in high demand: Every company with digitalized operations will need information security professionals. According to technical recruiter companies, from hiring a CISO to hiring information security engineers, IT security analysts, and data stewards, the domain covers numerous jobs.

Map Your Talent Needs: To hire a CISO, a director of information security, or senior information security professionals, you cannot afford to ignore certifications such as Certified Information Systems Security Professional (CISSP), Certified Information Systems Auditor (CISA), or Certified Information Security Manager (CISM).

These certifications are necessary over and above wide experience and academic qualifications, such as a master’s degree in computer science.

7. Cybersecurity

Why the huge demand for cybersecurity roles continues: At the offset, let us offer clarity that although cybersecurity is a part of information security, it has become an industry segment in itself.

With cybercrime risks pervading almost all industries, cybersecurity recruitment has seen a constant rise, most technical recruiter companies report.

Map Your Talent Needs: For junior or assistant roles in cybersecurity, a Google IT Support Professional Certificate is a basic requirement. A GIAC Certified Incident Handler certification works for mid-level roles. But if you seek to hire cybersecurity engineers, you should be looking at certifications such as Certified Ethical Hacker, CompTIA Security+, or Systems Security Certified Practitioner (SSCP).

8. Web Development

Why full-stack developer roles are in high demand: Almost any business launch or expansion requires website and web application developer services. The demand for web developers increased by around 70% in the last few years, thanks to the huge explosion of startups worldwide, as per most technical employment agencies.

Senior back-end web developer salaries crossed $108,580 in North America, while front-end web developers reached around $100,000.

Map Your Talent Needs: Web developers with expertise in JavaScript, PHP, Java, Python, Objective C, and C++ were highly-paid. Senior full-stack developers with experience in developing for Cloud and multi-platforms, combined with certifications in React and Node.js, were among the most sought-after and the best-paid.

If you are planning to hire React.js developers, hire Node.js developers, or hire web developers with Cloud development experience, you need to scrutinize their certifications and their portfolio.

9. Mobile App Development

Mobile app developer skills high in demand: Mobile development has become critical for business survival, especially for digital marketing, sales, customer services, payments, and client experience management. There are many millions of mobile app developers, but the market is not yet saturated. Rather some combinations of skills are hard to find and among the most sought-after in the IT industry.

Map Your Talent Needs: Mobile developers with experience in Python, database integration, and UI and UX designs, in addition to front-end development, are in huge demand worldwide. Mobile developers with expertise in Objective-C and iOS development were among the most paid.

10. Data Visualization/Storytelling

Why data storytelling is among the top 10 most in-demand skills: By 2025, a majority of operations will be data-driven. Making sense of all the data will become a primary need for everything from marketing and sales to IT security management and financial management.

Map Your Talent Needs: You will need to hire data visualization experts for business intelligence, market intelligence, risk management, financial modeling, business process redesign, process automation, operations monitoring, sales and marketing analytics, or any other work involving figuring out insights from data. Professionals with certifications in data visualization with Python and BI or with R or Tableau will be a need in every division of digitally transformed businesses.

A Guide To Keeping Wyll And Karlach After Siding With Minthara In Act 1

Or as I like to call it, how to permanently recruit Karlach and Wyll (because I have yet to complete a full playthrough with both of them)

Ever since Larian added a way to legitimately recruit Minthara by knocking her out, I've wanted to help the community be more successful in their efforts to give my favorite drow yet another concussion. Because like all things related to Minthara, the KO method was buggy as hell, non-intuitive, and metagamey as fuck. I wrote multiple guides on it, to the point where I made the master post my pinned for a while. You may have seen it at some point, but here it is again for reference [x]

As happy as I am with the success of those posts, it's time I revealed my true alignment. I'm actually one of those scary Minthara stans who has killed the grove more times than siding with the tieflings. I know, you'd never guess by looking at my blog (don't look at my blog) I did it my first playthrough and it's only gotten easier since. And while I stand by it as the single best way to experience Minthara's character and story arc, I'm not so cold-hearted as to deny that it's a shame we miss out on Wyll and Karlach in the process.

So rather than play the villain, what say we have them stick around by taking on the REAL villains of Act 1:

The Druids

To start off, you'll want both Wyll and Karlach in your party, and Withers in camp. I've had him show up upon crossing one of the bridges in Act 1, either to the blighted village or the goblin camp, I forget which, or you can bust him out of his Dank™ crypt. Proceed through Act 1 as normal. To be safe I got as much approval from them as I could in early game, but that may not be necessary. Offer to kill Kagha for Zevlor.

Now, both of them need to die, and preferably not by the hand of your party members. I had them suicide charge the gnolls and get wrecked, as on Tactician mode they'll attack downed party members until they're dead. I don't know if having them jump off a cliff works, but it might. We need to entrust them to Withers by asking him to look after their bodies instead of reviving them. Their bodies will then appear in camp by their tents.

Now go kill Kagha without revealing the shadow druid conspiracy. This should trigger the Druids to start fighting the Tieflings, which will happen off screen as you deal with Kagha and the few druids inside with her (killing Nettie earlier might make this easier in case she joins in. She tried to poison you, so serves her right.)

Steal that idol! I'm not 100% sure this is required, but it takes no effort at this point and you need to sit tight for a minute, so might as well.

Also if you thought you could return the idol to Mol, no luck, she won't accept it until the fighting ends. Unfortunately all the tieflings need to die for this to work, so rip Ring of Protection. But not exactly rip the tiefling kids, more on that in a minute.

OOF, rip Dammon (and most of Karlach's questline. Don't look at me like that, it's Larian's fault for tying her entire story onto one npc and giving nothing as an alternative)

I'll give the tieflings credit, they did not go down without one hells of a fight. This bear was found burnt to death, probably due to Zevlor.

Damn, they really killed all of them. I wanna point out this can happen even on a good playthrough with the best of intentions.

In the end, only four(!) druids survived. I don't know how they'd fare with Kagha fighting too, but overall I'd say the druids talk big for doing this badly against a bunch of unarmed civilians. We kill the last four of them, then get ready to move on.

With trepidation, I go to check on the kids. Not recommended if you raid the grove for real, but here:

It's just... empty. No bodies, no npcs hanging around, they completely cleared out.

I like to headcanon that Mol followed through on protecting her kids, and they escaped down this hole. I'm still very early in this run used for testing, so I have legit no idea if they show up later. But this is good enough for me to include them all in my fanfiction so :D Congrats, the only tieflings with rights (sorry Karlach!) are gonna be alright (because if we don't see a body it doesn't count)

Next step is to just... keep going. Sazza can get you into the goblin camp no problem, and if you play a Drow or have Shadowheart use disguise self, you can gain entry without any checks or dialogue. My half elf needed to talk her way in (or just use AUTHORITY)

best goblin btw

MOMMY

Lookit how happy she is after Sazza has brought her the grove's location! A lead on the weapon AND another True Soul AND she's concussion-free? Everything's coming up Minthy!

It's at this point things get a little weird (I did warn ya), as the game now has flagged the grove as "raided" even though we haven't done an actual grove battle, which is a different thing (as I'll demonstrate later), so Shadowheart has her "post-raid" dialogue when we wake up on the next long rest. The Raid The Grove quest is also marked as Completed, but still has a marker on the map. Have patience, return to the grove and walk through the (destroyed) gate, and suddenly:

The quest will update, and direct you to speak with Minthara in the secluded chamber where she normally is at when the raid is finished. There's also goblins milling about the grove now, same as the post-raid grove.

Get someone who looks at you the way Minthara looks at a cave full of dead druids and tieflings.

"No Minthara, I never meant for any of this to happen. This was all my fault, I shouldn't have gotten involved, they're all dead because of me-"

"Nevermind I am no longer morally conflicted about all this."

To the goblin party!

LIES. He never mentions it again lmao. C'mon patch 7 fix this! (you won't)

Why we're all really here 🥰

The next morning, speak to Withers and ask to collect your dead party members. He will have you confirm payment for their resurrection.

And it works! Karlach and Wyll are back, they can rejoin the party, and their approval is Unchanged!

Since I was on a roll, I went ahead and checked a few other scenarios: what happens if we don't start a fight with the druids and just raid the grove directly, with Karlach and Wyll dead? Well you can revive them afterwards, but...

Dang, Wyll still leaves (he's still so nice about it though! Even wishes you well!)

Meanwhile Karlach: Feck off, cunt.

Well, she's not leaving, but she's never been this blunt or cold towards me before. I wonder how much-

Damn, -49?! That's literally one away from leaving permanently! She started at 50, which means Karlach looses 100 approval from raiding the grove, and being dead doesn't change that. I think the only reason she's at -49 instead of -50 is due to that +1 from reviving a party member. So, she's grateful for being brought back to life, but not happy about anything else. You know what, that's fair.

One last thing I tested (and no pics for it cause this post has reached its limit! But those extra pics of Sharp-Eye Sluck are important, so I'll just write this next part out) I wanted to see if it was even necessary to finish off the remaining druids after they killed all the tieflings. So I left the grove (manually, you have to journey quite a distance before it lets you fast travel, almost all the way to the first bridge) and headed to the goblin camp to start the raid as normal.

Like our first time, we arrive at an empty grove. Even the druids we left behind are gone, meaning you can safely headcanon this method as joining up with the goblins and Minthara to take revenge on the druids. The game still acts like you killed the tieflings though, down to Gale's threatening to leave.

But Karlach and Wyll still get brought back without a problem! You can even revive them DURING the goblin party and they'll act like nothing's happened!

Wyll And Karlach Recruited Alongside Raiding With Minthara: Success!

So Baldur's Gate 3 community! I now implore you to put down your Pommel Strikes, switch off that Non-Lethal toggle, and stop giving poor Minthara even more brain damage than the tadpole and the Absolute already gave her!

And when you reach Moonrise Towers to rescue her, for the love of Selûne, when the guards are torturing her in the prison, don't just swing on them. Agree to enter her mind first. You'll have a dicey roll to deal with, but trust me, it's SUPER worth it!

As for the whole process, well. Despite the clunky way quests update after you start the grove civil war, the resulting lack of direction and narrative inconsistencies in the dialogue post-goblin party, this still feels like a more immersive way to recruit Minthara on a run with both Karlach and Wyll still present, than the KO method, in my not-so-humble opinion.

Consider this: You've got a major twist in the Act 1 plot now, with the Druids turning on you and killing the tieflings you were trying to help, leaving your party dispirited and lacking direction, other than to continue their search for a cure, which leads them to meet the Absolutists, the goblins, and the drow commander leading them and looking for the druids' sanctuary. And in the midst of your grief and anger, you side with her, both to get close to the source of the infections (as the Dream Visitor suggests) but also to take your revenge out on the druids.

You can feel conflicted, regretful even, but the context has changed enough that I think even a good-aligned Tav with no qualms about methods can live with this result. It just takes a bit of filling in the gaps (do you simply point the goblin army at the druids and look away, or lead them yourself by Minthara's side? Either way works for the results)

The only real downside is, again, Karlach's story just sorta ends here, until the confrontation with Gortash. I personally think this is a problem with Larian's writing for her, and at this point fanfiction is about the only solution in sight. But if you don't mind her not getting the chance to touch others again, you really have nothing to lose here

Besides, were you really going to pay Dammon for that act 3 armor? Of course not, you steal it every run and don't pretend otherwise, "hero."
