Teamwork appears in three of every four European software engineer job posts
We read 1,000 software engineer job postings from LinkedIn, 100 from each of ten European capitals: Brussels, Berlin, Paris, Rome, Madrid, Warsaw, Amsterdam, Vienna, Prague, and Stockholm. Teamwork leads in nearly three of four posts; communication, the skill candidates are told to lead with, ranks sixth. This content analysis shows which soft skills employers actually name, how wording shifts by city, company size, and seniority, and where postings leave out skills that interviews still test. It is written for talent acquisition teams who write job descriptions and design interview scorecards.
