About this report

A European technical-talent study that examines AI’s effect on hiring alongside the less visible operational and security skills needed to make adoption work. The report uses an online industry survey, comparing European responses with the rest of the world where relevant. It covers changing technical roles, gaps across the technology stack, open source and workforce development. Use it to review hiring and training priorities, including the junior talent pipeline, while distinguishing respondents’ expectations about future staffing from observed employment outcomes.

The PDF is in English. This introduction and content guide are available in your selected language.
