GermanTechJobs: 2022 Year in Review 🚀

Year 2022 has been a wild ride, maybe not as crazy as 2020, but still full of surprises in the job market. Time for a quick round-up:

Our platforms are currently operating in Germany, Switzerland, the UK, the US, the Netherlands, and Romania, and have reached over 120,000 monthly users (more than double compared to last year). Software Developers & other tech specialists can pick from over 2,800 active job openings.

Although, 2022 has been rough for many of us, because of numerous changes in the global economy, but the demand for senior engineers has remained high. With the recent lay-offs and hiring freezes, it seems that the balance in the job market is switching back towards employers, though.

One thing we believe to see in 2023 is the continuous debate about remote work. Some companies are pressing to get their employees back in the office, but many developers only want to work remotely nowadays. If your company still allows flexible home office, you are in a big advantage in the fight for the best tech talents. To put it into perspective: jobs with the fully remote options, receive up to 4 times more candidates compared to offers without this benefit.

With the focus on understanding the current state of the IT job market, our Team gathered over 4600 answers from the tech community and analyzed the data from more than 1500 job listings on our platforms. The result was “Transparent IT Job Market Report 2022” which covers topics like remote work, 4-day workweek, reasons for job switching and many other juicy insights.

In 2023, we plan to continue helping the tech community and attract even more companies on our transparent job boards. Moreover, we also have some new initiatives which we want to grow this year. Our aim with GermanTechJobs is to become the go-to place for tech talents where you can find not only jobs, but also insights about companies, tech events, and have access to communities and salary statistics.

We are truly grateful to be able to work with a talented and passionate team that makes all of this possible.
