The growing digital transformation in various segments of the economy has increasingly expanded the demand for technology specialist professionals. The reflection of this is in the survey by the Association of Information and Communication Technology Companies and Digital Technologies (BRASSCOM), where it shows that the Information and Communication Technology (ICT) macro sector in Brazil currently employs more than 2 million professionals
Runtalent data, digital services company that is a reference in the allocation of IT professionals, reveal that hiring during last year was significant not only for organizations in the technology sector. Although the area still accounts for the largest number of job opportunities (37%), sectors like retail (22%), services (11%) and finance (9%) already represent a significant share of jobs
The COO of Runtalent, Gilberto Reis, explain that the movement is a reflection of the need for digitalization for the survival of companies. The implementation of technology in organizational processes is increasingly less a matter of choice for businesses, regardless of size or area of activity. How companies need to be in tune with the main solutions in the field of technology, the logical consequence of this is the increase in demand for professionals capable of meeting these demands, explain
The trend of digitalization is also expanding to traditional industries, like health, with the implementation of digital records, teleconsultations, wearables and even more accurate diagnostics; in education, with Distance Learning (DL), the platforms and digital virtual teaching laboratories; and in agribusiness, with the use of drones, IoT sensors (Internet of Things) and data analysis to optimize planting, irrigation and harvest
This demand has intensified the search for professionals with skills in emerging areas, as artificial intelligence, cybersecurity and data science. "Professionals with hybrid skills", that combine technological knowledge with strategic business vision, have been highly valued, highlights Gilberto.
The executive reinforces, yet, that technology is a transformative factor for sectors seeking to optimize processes and enhance the customer experience, for example. He also notes that this scenario represents a window of opportunities for those who wish to enter or reinvent themselves in the job market. "With competitive salaries and remote work opportunities", careers in technology remain attractive. However, "it is essential to stay updated and invest in training to keep up with digital transformations", complete.
The coming years will be marked by great opportunities for those who wish to enter the technology sector. The demand for qualified professionals keeps growing and companies are looking for talents willing to innovate and keep up with digital transformations. "It is the ideal time to invest in qualification and build a solid career in the area", concludes the executive
