Software Engineering Job Openings Hit Five-year Low?

By / Blog /

Software engineering job openings are at a five-year low, with a 35% decrease in vacancies since January 2020 and a 3.5x drop since mid-2022. Despite a broader job market increase of 10%, software development positions have plunged 34%. Factors include interest rate changes, tech overhiring in 2021-2022, and potential productivity boosts from AI tools. While hiring has slowed, some startups are thriving with smaller teams. Predictions remain mixed on future hiring trends, particularly with the emergence of non-developer software creation facilitated by AI.

AI Killed The Tech Interview. Now What?

By / Blog / ,

AI has drastically changed tech interviews, making traditional methods ineffective. Interviews are often disliked, with candidates often overprepared for irrelevant tech skills. AI tools now allow easier problem-solving, undermining the validity of coding assessments like Hackerrank. Future solutions include in-person interviews, enhanced monitoring software, or adapting interviews to consider AI usage. A hybrid approach that combines remote assessments with in-person interviews could provide a balance. Ultimately, interviews will evolve to assess candidates' ability to effectively use AI and manage software development challenges.
