Resourcing | Majority of tech firm vacancies are NOT for technical talent

When thinking about huge tech firms such as Google, Apple, or Facebook, you might think that most of their vacancies will be in the ever-competitive engineering and technology departments.

However, research from Glassdoor suggests that this is not the case – in fact, out of all the open positions at UK tech companies on Glassdoor today, just over half are non-tech roles (54% or approximately 12,200 open jobs). The remaining 46% are tech roles, or almost 10,400 open jobs.

Many non-tech roles were focused on continuing growth – such as recruiters and marketing managers.
