As the rapid growth of artificial intelligence (AI) reshapes the tech sector, the employment landscape for IT workers is undergoing significant transformation. While the IT unemployment rate reached 6% in August in the US, a closer look reveals promising opportunities in specialized areas that are pivotal to the future of technology.
AI is at the heart of this change, creating a “seismic shift” reminiscent of the rise of personal computing in the early 2000s. Traditional tech roles, particularly in back-end systems management, are seeing reduced demand, although still very important hires for many of our clients. However, specialized skills in AI, cybersecurity, and cloud technologies are thriving, making these fields the most sought-after in today’s tech environment.
At Brookwood, we specialize in recruiting high-demand talent for critical business areas. Our expertise enables us to source professionals with the skills essential for companies navigating this transformation. With a focus on identifying the best candidates across diverse talent pools in AI, data preparation, cybersecurity, and cloud technologies, we help businesses not only fill these roles but future-proof their teams.
As Vikram Nafde, CIO of Webster Bank, notes, businesses need talent that can help them prepare company data for AI models and design AI tools. This niche requires a deep understanding of AI, which is why the right talent is crucial for driving success. Similarly, Steve Watt, CIO of Hyland Software, emphasizes that security expertise and cloud capabilities are critical for the current and future state of IT.
While some of our sectors are experiencing slower growth, AI and cybersecurity are continuing to accelerate, creating opportunities for those with the right skill set. At Brookwood, we help businesses secure the top talent in these key areas, enabling them to lead in this era of innovation and transformation.
