Talent landscape in the IT sector
There is still a shortage of up to 100,000 IT professionals in Germany. On average, IT job openings remain unfilled for 7.7 months—the same amount of time as two years ago. In addition to AI, companies are focusing on continuing education and hiring people from other fields. There is also significant potential for attracting women to IT careers.

Tailored recruitment solutions for the IT industry
The so-called “war for talent” is a major challenge for the IT industry in particular. According to a recent Bitkom study, around 149,000 IT positions in Germany are currently unfilled — more than twice as many as five years ago. Many companies are struggling to find suitable professionals, with small and medium-sized businesses in particular reporting that they receive very few applications for IT job postings. One reason for this is ongoing digitalization, which continues to create new jobs and intensify competition for talent. As a result, the shortage of IT specialists is expected to persist into 2025. “The IT skills shortage affects not only the private sector but also the public sector, which often struggles to fill IT positions,” explains Achim Berg, President of Bitkom.
To reach the right talent, job postings should appear where potential candidates actually spend their time. At the same time, search behavior—especially among Generation Z—has changed significantly: mobile applications, transparent employer branding, and a clear focus on values are playing an increasingly important role. An authentic employer brand builds trust and has been shown to attract more applicants.
