As one of the world's most popular job searching and recruiting sites, LinkedIn has an exceptional ability to identify and report on trends about these topics, as well as the hottest skills. At the end of 2014, they did just that. They analyzed the skills and experience in over 330 million member profiles to identify which ones were most likely to land a new job or, at the very least, gain the interest of recruiters.
The study revealed the 25 hottest skills in 10 different countries and tech skills ruled the charts globally, consistent with the infographic we posted yesterday. Below are the top skills in Canada last year:
