Job-ad data: AI is creating new engineering roles, and management is the most common skill
An analysis of 47,000 job listings shows the engineering roles AI is creating. According to Andela, 53% of AI job ads seek skills beyond the job title; according to Kickresume, management appears in 44% of ads, while AI skills barely feature.
Who is affected and how
- job seeker
- A job title can mislead; read the skills the ad actually describes.
- HR professional
- Ad titles and content often diverge, so it is worth moving to skills-based job ads.
- manager
- Accountability and management skills remain in strong demand.
