Global Tech Hiring Bulletin

Quarterly, dated, and quotable. Each issue reports what we measured in tech hiring demand — never a forecast — with the rule that produced every figure stated next to it and the underlying counts published under CC BY 4.0 on the open data page. Published issues are never edited; corrections appear as dated notes in later issues.

    Skill adoption in tech hiring, measured over nine years

    Across 413,133 Swedish tech job ads (2016–2024), every skill that became mainstream showed measurable posting momentum 7 to 28 months before crossing — and the capital led the rest of the country by months to years.

Standing methodology

  • Postings are collected weekly per market with a fixed cadence and board set. Published statistics are computed on calendar-month and trailing-quarter windows only; week-over-week movement is collection noise and is never narrated.
  • Trend claims are momentum-phrased (a share and its multiple over a 12-month baseline, with the sample size) and significance-gated. We do not publish establishment forecasts: the validation study in issue No. 1 measured exactly where that line sits.
  • When a market's collection coverage changes, its trend history restarts at the change and each affected page discloses the restart. Figures are never compared across a coverage change.
