Market intelligence

Market ReportWhere the hiring demand is in German technology: September 2026On 15 September 2026 there were 154,732 engineering, sales, marketing and business development jobs advertised in Germany. We counted how many sit in the markets we recruit for. Machinery and industrial automation is the largest pool by a distance, aerospace and defence sits close behind automotive, and semiconductors and power electronics are small in number and hard to fill.
