Your Software Development recruitment questions, answered

What are the biggest Software Development trends in 2022?  

Cloud-Native Engineers continue to be in short supply but high in demand as organisations of all sizes in Malaysia adopt cloud at speed. Full Stack Developers with expertise in front and Back End Development is especially in demand.  
 
Investment in AI is continuously growing as organisations want to make use of Machine Learning and Natural Language Processing. This means more developers will be needed to build AI functionality into software applications. Further developments in the use of VR, AR and MR will also create a need for more development expertise in these areas.  

Which Software Development technologies are in high demand?

Competition remains high for Java and JavaScript Engineers and employers are also snapping up developers with experience in Python. Full Stack Developers are especially prized by employers.  Employers are especially on the lookout for expertise in Javascript frameworks like React and Node, as well as Python, Golang, Flutter, React Native, Java, and .Net Core, among others.    
 
Requirements for those with expertise in cloud-based technologies and DevOps has seen exponential growth, causing demand for AWS, Docker, Kubernetes and GCP skills to continue to rise across several areas.   

What soft skills should I look for in a Software Developer?  

It’s no longer enough for Software Developers to be programming language experts. Increasingly, organisations are seeing the benefit of hiring people with a slew of soft skills such as problem-solving, communication, and creativity.   
 
These people will likely be quick to assess an issue and choose the best solution and deliver their ideas effectively to various stakeholders within the business.   

Aside from a good salary, what can I do to attract top Software Developers?  

Proving your investment in upskilling your employees is the best way to help you stand out, especially with how rapidly the Software Development landscape is evolving.   
 
Showcase your commitment to supporting your staff’s development either through investment in training using platforms, or an LMS like  Hays Thrive, offering time off for upskilling or the opportunity to get involved with different project teams to broaden their skillset and gain expertise in emerging technologies.   
 
Additionally, people are increasingly vocal about their desire for flexibility in their job as well as opportunities to work remotely. Implementing and communicating the policies you’ve put in place that allow for more flexible arrangements will help in attracting top candidates.
