Latest trends
What the dashboard is showing right now
- Programming/software development is still the single biggest skill category — 2,446 of the last 8,237 postings (~30%) — though its lead is narrowing (-0.05pp/week).
- Digital marketing is the fastest-rising skill on the board (0.38pp/week). Drilling in, the growth leans toward Meta Business Suite (+38%), while WooCommerce mentions -37% and JavaScript mentions -34% within those same postings.
- Graphic design postings keep climbing as a share of the market (0.28pp/week) even though raw volume dipped this window — "PDF" mentions inside those postings are down 45%. Reads like a source-mix dip, not a real demand drop.
- AWS is the fastest-declining tool site-wide right now (-0.09pp/week).
- Formal degree requirements remain a non-factor — 97% of the last two weeks' postings state no requirement at all (97% the window before), essentially unchanged.

What we track
Three dimensions of remote-work demand
Remote hiring is global. Employers in Berlin, San Francisco, and Singapore can hire from anywhere — but they hire for specific things. Knowing what those things are is the first step to landing a remote role from anywhere in the world.
Credentials
What degrees & certifications employers ask for
From “no degree required” to PhD — see what level of formal education is the entry bar across different roles, with trend signals so you know what's gaining or losing weight.

The specific things employers actually hire for
Python. Salesforce. AWS Lambda. Figma. We use AI to extract the named tools, languages, platforms, and vendors mentioned in each posting — and surface the combinations that travel together.

Methodology
Built on a recognised global standard
Imanikazi maps every job posting to the SFIA 9 framework — the Skills Framework for the Information Age, the global standard for IT and digital skills classification. SFIA is used by governments, Fortune 500 employers, and training providers worldwide to describe and benchmark skills consistently.
On top of SFIA, we use AI extraction (Claude Haiku) to surface the specific tools, frameworks, platforms, and credential requirements mentioned in each posting — so you can see both the abstract competency (“Programming/software development”) and the concrete realisation (“Python + AWS + PostgreSQL, BS required or equivalent experience”).
