The 10 most in-demand hard skills
1. Cloud and Distributed Computing
2. Statistical Analysis and Data Mining
3. Middleware and Integration Software
4. Web Architecture and Development Framework
5. User Interface Design
6. Software Revision Control Systems
7. Data Presentation
8. SEO/SEM Marketing
9. Mobile Development
10. Network and Information Security
Unsurprisingly, tech skills dominate this wish list. The few skills that don’t always involve actual coding are still tech-adjacent: UI design, data presentation, and search engine optimization/marketing (SEO/SEM).
However, even candidates with exceptional hard skills need soft skills in order to stand out and succeed as leaders. In fact, 57% of leaders say soft skills are more important than hard skills—even leaders from tech companies agree, like Facebook’s Sheryl Sandberg and Google’s Eric Schmidt.
