Re: Show HN: I analyzed 1500+ job ads to find the most wanted skills by recruiters
#2Hi HN!
After recently graduating from college, I set myself a personal project to develop a simple tool for analyzing job advertisements and extracting the most in-demand skills, technologies, and tools for various IT positions.
By automatically scanning and processing data from more than 1500 job ads, the project identifies key skills and technologies that employers and recruiters are looking for.
You can browse various IT positions to explore the skills needed for each, including Frontend, Backend, DevOps, AI/ML, Data (Engineering/Science), Full Stack, UX/UI, Technical Writing, Quality Assurance, iOS/Android, Management, and Cybersecurity.
The project was already announced via Reddit, receiving over 150,000+ views on the launch post!

#3Great project. This unfortunately also tells us that the 'top skills' mentioned on the site are actually going to be the ones which an AI WILL easily displace the jobs of programmers with the following 'skills':
1. Node.js
2. React
3. JavaScript
4. TypeScript
5. Python
6. Java
Would completely avoid super specializing in these 'skills' unless you are the top 1% in them as these employers are extremely selective and expect candidates to be in the top 1% out of thousands of applicants.

Thanks! Good observation. Rather than just specializing in a particular language or framework, focusing on problem-solving, architecture, and adaptability might be the key to staying ahead.

#5Needs an equivalent list based on CVs/resumes so you can identify unfulfilled needs.

#6Nice one, but you need to provide a context.
1500+ jobs in which location? Which country? Which job titles did you search for?
By the way, 1500+ is a start but insufficient to determine trends. For instance, 48,344 SW jobs were posted in Jan 2025 alone [0].
It is a nice project to learn and show potential employers. Well done.

I mean definitely don’t ‘super specialize’, which I take to mean don’t just learn any one of them.
But any self-respecting JS full stack dev would want to have a good level of familiarity with the first 4, so some level of experience with them is absolutely a +++

Nice work! How is the trending value calculated?

#9Almost the exact same list as the Stack Overflow stack ranked top technologies of 2024 list.
Frankly: imo if you need a website/tool like this/find this website helpful, you might consider it a sign you need to start thinking about life more generally. :)
