We already know that many of the jobs that our parents and grandparents worked no longer exist and many other jobs are about to disappear, yet there are sectors that treasure a hopeful future. A European Commission study finds that by 2030, 30% of young people will be working in positions that do not exist today.
The most important sector in this field is information and communication technologies, which are gaining importance at a considerable speed. According to figures from the Department of Economic Management, Resources and Economic Promotion of the municipality, 59,393 people work in ICT-related jobs in 2,800 companies in Barcelona (data from 2018).
It is clear that we are in the Technological Age and we must adapt as quickly as possible. For this reason, today we bring you the 3 trends with the most impact in the technology sector.
1. Artificial Intelligence:
The current Artificial Intelligenceit is used in order to speed up processes. It is more common in areas related to cybersecurity and database management and optimization. These systems can automate processes, but this technology still has a long way to go to bring out its full potential.
While AI is also being successfully applied in areas such as talent selection, the use of automation tools in HR should not have the connotation of coldness but rather of fostering effectiveness.
This is the case of TalentFY that uses AI to select the best recruiters based on their history of hirings adapted to each job offer that comes up on the platform. In this way, we managed to streamline the selection processes by presenting more suitable candidates in a short space of time (less than 10 days).
