LinkedIn today released an exhaustive list of skills employers prioritize when recruiting, posting, and hiring for jobs on the company's website.
“It's true that topics like layoffs are trending on LinkedIn and conversations around 'recession' are up nearly 900% since last year," the company said in the report. "The rate of global LinkedIn member job change has flatlined for the first time since March 2021. No matter the setback, looming re-org, or change in strategy, learning in-demand skills can help individuals and teams reach their career goals in 2023, even in the face of a tough macro environment.”
LinkedIn’s list includes both general skills, such as overall hard skills for any marketplace, and expertise required by specific industries, such as technology. The company also pointed to its online training courses for the skills it listed.
When it came to the top 10 overall hard skills, IT led the list and filled most of the top 10 slots.
Number one on that list? Software development “that companies need to build the products that we depend on in our personal and professional lives,” LinkedIn said. Data management skills are also prominent. Skills such as SQL (No. 2 on the list) help companies manage and make sense of data across the business, and they remain in high demand.
The other hard skills in the top 10 are:

Community association managers.
The starting salary is dirt, the hours are long, and the days are tough. Most burn out in 4 years.
Five years in, with some solid training and credentials, a strong work ethic and smarts, and it’s 100k+. On-site managers make 80-150k, easily. I know; I’ve mentored several people in this industry and they are rock stars raking it in.
Senior Directors are making bank. There are postings for 160k+.
I’m a senior director. Due to my health, I now work exclusively from home. One of my former clients offered me $175k to come back, but I physically can’t do the job they need. They wouldn’t offer that much to anyone else.
Recession proof, minimal college required, great field for a tough, smart person with solid organizational and communication skills.

I was hiring aircraft maintenance technicians. A&P and three years experience. Top out over $100k without OT. I had guys make $200 last year. Hiring freeze right now but a lot of folks are retiring very soon.
Top out well over $100k.
How about jaded pissed off senior embedded weapons lead/developer that wants weapons to be more lethal by providing faster target saturation in a way that requires less manpower and logistical support without regard to “safety” as defined by the bubble wrap brigade. Is that on the list? If not can anyone give gps coordinates for the list maker?
The in-demand skill needed is a work visa.
What exactly are these Community Associations?..just curious ...sounds like something my grandson may be good doing.
Community associations are more commonly referred to as homeowners associations, condominiums, co-operatives, or property owners associations.
Several states have licensing requirements.
You are helping to manage a not-for-profit corporation. Duties include, but are not limited to, working with vendors, providing information to the board, risk management, client service, covenant enforcement, facilities, OSHA, fiscal management, budgeting, contracts, long-range planning, capital improvements, compliance with local, state, and federal laws, etc.
A good company will start you out with a small portfolio of easy communities. As you grow, your portfolio gets bigger and the communities get more complex, until you work your way up to large scale properties or high rise condominiums (the most challenging to manage).
I’ve helped a number of distressed communities get back on their feet, tackle deferred maintenance, navigate complex legal issues, and return to financial solvency. It is very rewarding work when done right. Boards remember you years later, become friends, and appreciate what you do.
one of my degrees is computer science and i’ve made a living as a developer(and more) for 35+ years.
i’ve always felt good developers had to be part engineer, part scientist, and part artist.
back in the 80s/early 90s, the general belief was there is a constant number of quality developers, X, produced every year regardless of the increasing number of students, Y, entering the schools.
formal education isn’t always assumed. many early ‘hackers’ never went to school for it.
Ah...thanks...I’ve had 3 condos over the years...I wondered if that was what you meant. Good managers would be invaluable...condo boards are often difficult, especially at startup.
Stay off of LinkedIn. I noticed over 10 years ago that it had become basically professional Facebook. I’ve heard others swear they found jobs through LinkedIn. I’ve been an audit/finance contractor for 18 years and I can tell you I’ve never been hired through it...and I’m often in the market 2-3 times a year as I cycle through contracts.
The owner of LinkedIn is also a far left lunatic.
RE: The owner of LinkedIn is also a far left lunatic.
Isn’t Linkedin owned by Microsoft?
You’re right they did sell it to Microsoft. Then again....MSNBC...Microsoft is also far left.
Reid Hoffman was the founder and CEO of LinkedIn. He a far left lunatic.
