Workers in the US value salary LESS than workers in Canada and globally, according to recent research from #ADP. Only 52% would rank it among their top three important job attributes, compared to globally (55%) and Canada (61%). Instead, flexibility of hours and enjoyment of a day's work are gaining popularity--sounds like yet another push for more hybrid/remote jobs. Oy! https://lnkd.in/e29GtkXX

As Canada's tech sector continues to grow and change, so do its recruitment demands.     So, what are the most in-demand tech roles and departments in Canada right now?    ➡️ Cleantech    With 2050's ambitious decarbonization goals firmly in view, many carbon-intensive sectors are looking for innovative ways to monitor and improve their emissions and energy use. As such, clean and climate tech companies such as emission-monitoring platforms are seeing increased demand.     ➡️ AI    Despite many organizations' knowledge of its importance and value, there remains a significant skills shortage in AI and machine learning. This means candidates with educational and professional experience in AI remain in high demand across Canada.     ➡️ SaaS    Software-as-a-service (SaaS) transformed the world of business and continues to do so today. Providers of this scalable technology are always in need of talented developers to bring their ideas to life and customer relationship managers to keep customers on board.     ➡️ Cybersecurity    As AI and cloud technologies continue to dominate, it's more important than ever that companies take their cybersecurity seriously. Cybersecurity professionals will prove essential for embracing the efficiency and innovation of technology, without compromizing on data security and privacy.     Would you add any other roles to this list?
