The number of vacant jobs in IT in Russia decreased by about a third during the year, media write. The era of the massive shortage of personnel is over: now 12-15 people on average apply for one job, compared to 2-3 at the peak of demand in 2021-2022. The likelihood that companies will look for programmers, testers and systems engineers has decreased, and in some professions the number of vacancies has decreased by almost half. Among the reasons, experts point to the slowdown in IT developments and the spread of artificial intelligence.
