This trend is especially prevalent in the technology industry, where remote work has always been more common.
Soft Skills
While technical skills are still important, companies are placing greater emphasis on soft skills such as communication, collaboration, and leadership. In sales, for example, companies are looking for candidates who can build relationships with clients and effectively communicate the value of their products or services. In technology, companies are seeking out candidates who can work well on a team and effectively communicate complex technical concepts.
Diversity & Inclusion
Diversity and inclusion have become increasingly important in the workplace, and companies are making a concerted effort to hire a more diverse workforce. In sales and technology, this means actively recruiting candidates from underrepresented backgrounds and creating a more inclusive workplace culture.
Artificial Intelligence
Artificial intelligence (AI) is becoming more prevalent in both sales and technology. Companies are looking for candidates who have experience with AI tools and can help them leverage these technologies to drive business growth. In sales, AI can help automate tasks such as lead scoring and customer segmentation, while in technology, AI can be used to develop more intelligent systems and improve efficiency.

As technology continues to play a larger role in our lives, cybersecurity has become an increasingly important concern. Companies are looking for candidates who have experience with cybersecurity and can help them protect their data and systems from cyber attacks. This trend is especially prevalent in the technology industry, where companies are constantly developing new products and services that need to be secure.
