UK Retailers Boost AI & Tech Hiring

Retailers accounted for close to half of UK tech job ads at consumer-facing companies this year, according to Vacancysoft, which compiled the data with recruiter Mercury. Tesco's monthly tech hiring is up almost 40% year on year, and M&S raised tech vacancies by 44%, while IT analyst postings are shrinking as demand shifts toward engineers. Vacancysoft expects hiring to rebound next year.
