More than 750 new job postings for software developers go live every day in the UK, with JavaScript leading the demand for programming language skills among employers.
According to developer recruitment platform CodinGame, a new tech job is advertised every two minutes in the United Kingdom, with over half of tech job postings commanding salaries of at least £50,000 ($60,900) and one in five (20%) promising £70,000 ($85,300) and above.
The UK is enjoying a boom in tech investment, with investors putting £89.5 billion into European tech firms in 2021, a third of which was directed towards UK firms. The majority of these investments were aimed at London firms, which, as a result, accounted for 47.5% of all new tech jobs posted in 2021.
The majority of tech vacancies last year were in software development and engineering roles, which increased by 88.2% between 2020 and 2021.
In an analysis of available coding roles, CodinGame found that JavaScript continued its reign as the most in-demand programming language, with 33% of all job postings requiring proficiency in the language.
JavaScript job postings eclipsed its runner-up language, Java, by 33%. Other popular coding languages include Python, C# and C++.

This doesn't seem right. Like, if you're working in HR, have little to no knowledge in programming and are fishing for more resumes for your database, wouldn't you still do your look-ups by duping your whole existing popular job requests?
I mean, assuming there's segmentation between low-tier headhunters for the low-income programming gigs and high-tier headhunters that will incentivize such practices, I still argue it shouldn't be specific to javascript when there's other low-tier gigs at the same space unless there's actually a specific increase in javascript jobs. In fact, even if you consider javascript having unusually high-turnover, the current increase should still be a reflection of an increased demand. No?
