There’s a growing trend towards valuing skills and practical
experience over formal education. Employers might
prioritize candidates with relevant certifications, hands-on
projects, or demonstrated abilities rather than just academic
qualifications.

Leadership
▪ IT professionals may be asked to manage projects or teams, so they need to be able to
delegate tasks, motivate people, and keep everyone focused on goals.
Security awareness
▪ IT professionals need to ensure that their organization's protective systems are up to industry
standards and comply with regulations.
Database management
▪ IT jobs may involve data entry or database use, so it's important to know the basics of
database management, including how to read and use SQL.
Operating systems
▪ IT professionals need to be able to administer different operating systems, such as Windows,
Linux, or Mac.
Cloud computing
▪ IT professionals need to understand how cloud computing platforms work, such as Google
Cloud and AWS.
Programming languages
▪ IT professionals need to know different programming languages, such as Python, C++,
JavaScript, Ruby, and Power Shell.
Troubleshooting
▪ IT professionals need to be able to troubleshoot technical issues and help employees.
As remote work becomes more common, companies might
hire fresher's from a broader geographical pool. This could
also lead to more emphasis on digital communication skills
and self-management.
Increased Employee Autonomy: Both models allow
employees to have more control over their work
environment and schedule, which can lead to greater job
satisfaction and motivation.
Attraction and Retention: Offering flexible work
arrangements can make a company more attractive to
potential hires and help retain existing employees.
Reduced Absenteeism: Flexibility can help employees
manage personal or health-related issues more
effectively, leading to fewer unplanned absences.
Improved Focus and Efficiency: Employees often report
higher levels of focus and efficiency when they have
control over their work environment and schedule.
While technical skills are important, soft skills like
adaptability, communication, and problem-solving are
increasingly valued. Companies might use psychometric
tests or situational interviews to assess these traits.
Fresher's might need to focus more on personal branding
and online presence. Building a professional LinkedIn profile,
showcasing portfolios, and engaging in relevant industry
discussions can become crucial for making a strong
impression.
Recruiters might look at candidates’ social media profiles
and online activity to gauge their interests, professionalism,
and fit with the company culture.
To make the hiring process more engaging and to better
assess candidates’ skills, companies might use gamified
assessments or simulations. These can provide insights into
how candidates approach problem-solving and handle real-
world scenarios.
There’s a growing emphasis on building diverse teams.
Companies may implement strategies to reduce bias in
hiring and actively seek to create a more inclusive workplace.
Companies may look for candidates who demonstrate a
commitment to continuous learning and upskilling. Freshers
who actively engage in learning new technologies or skills
relevant to their field could stand out.
