Contract roles in vogue

Fancy a new gig? Here’s the roles dominating the job market in 2023…

Engineers

In an increasingly digital world, companies are becoming more attuned to the importance of being tech savvy. From AI experts, to cyber security managers, we have seen a spike in demand for engineers of all calibres.  

Data engineers take the popularity crown though, with 86% of countries listing it as one of the job titles experiencing the most growth. These findings were based on a study by LinkedIn, which examined data from 28 countries to determine the current job market landscape.

Development roles

Roles focused on development, such as marketing development managers are very on trend right now. This is because – despite widespread financial uncertainty – businesses are still growing and wanting to streamline this growth. 

In fact, marketing development management was ranked the fastest growing role in Canada and France between 2018 and 2022. 

Translating

If you’re smart enough to speak more than one language, then you’re in luck – because translating is in vogue (when was it not?!). The career prospects are also endless because businesses will always need a helping hand to communicate clearly with clients, stakeholders and global audiences. So whether you want to work in media, healthcare, ecommerce or education – the world is your multilingual oyster!

Social media management 

This is a lucrative career option for freelancers craving creativity. It’s not quite as glam as Emily in Paris makes it out to be, but there is a big gap in the market for individuals with an excellent understanding of internet culture, the latest trends and most importantly – an unparalleled ability to engage new audiences. 

These are just a few of the many roles ‘in vogue’ this year, and the beauty of being a contractor means you are not limited to one sector!
