Key Movements This Week

LLMs / GenAI: 22.2% demand (down 11.0pp from last week) — Demand cooled materially in AI & Machine Learning, likely due to changing implementation preferences.
Stakeholder Mgmt: 26.9% demand (down 8.7pp from last week) — Demand cooled materially in Product & Design, likely due to changing implementation preferences.
Python: 13.0% demand (down 6.7pp from last week) — This pullback in AI & Machine Learning suggests employers are reducing emphasis on this skill.
PyTorch: 6.3% demand (down 5.5pp from last week) — A sizable decline in AI & Machine Learning may point to stack consolidation or tooling shifts.
Stakeholder Mgmt: 5.8% demand (down 5.3pp from last week) — Demand cooled materially in AI & Machine Learning, likely due to changing implementation preferences.
Machine Learning: 30.7% demand (down 5.2pp from last week) — This pullback in AI & Machine Learning suggests employers are reducing emphasis on this skill.
Python: 7.1% demand (down 4.6pp from last week) — A moderate dip in Security indicates softening demand.
AWS: 11.5% demand (down 4.3pp from last week) — This skill slipped in Security, though the move is not yet a structural break.

What This Signals

Angular, MLflow and Figma each gained 1.6 percentage points this week, signalling that hiring managers are actively prioritising frontend engineering, ML experiment tracking and product design skills — candidates who can demonstrate these should move them to the top of their CV. The sharpest drops belong to LLMs/GenAI (-11.0 percentage points) and Stakeholder Management (-8.7 percentage points), so job seekers leaning solely on generative AI experience or soft-skill positioning should broaden their technical portfolio now. With 8,043 new listings entering a market of 15,177 total openings and Full Stack Developer leading at 4,861 postings, hiring volume remains strong — but the AI & Machine Learning category's volatility this week suggests employers are still recalibrating exactly which ML skills they need.

By the Numbers

Total active listings: 15,177
New listings this week: 8,043
Most-hired role: Full Stack Developer (4861 listings)
