Tech is hiring again, but the roles and skills in demand look different this time around.
Atli Thorkelsson, head of network at Redpoint Ventures, put together a slide deck on hiring trends.
The top of the market is “the most competitive it’s been in years,” Thorkelsson said.
The tech industry is now split between two starkly different job markets.
On one side, there’s a stalled job market where more workers are staying put. On the other there is a rapidly expanding artificial intelligence sector that’s reshaping the talent landscape.
To help founders understand the situation, Atli Thorkelsson, head of talent network at Redpoint Ventures, created a slide deck on the state of tech hiring. He presented it at the firm’s third annual InfraRed Summit, which brings together founders of up-and-coming companies in cloud infrastructure.
The deck includes data cobbled together from Pave, a compensation management tool; TrueUp, a tech jobs marketplace; and SignalFire, an early-stage venture capital firm.
Thorkelsson notes that the charts throughout the deck represent fast-growing tech firms. Since Redpoint used data from vendors that mainly serve tech clients with open roles, those companies end up overrepresented.
Here’s an exclusive look at the 13-slide deck that Redpoint shared with founders.
