2025 Skills Label Job Insights

We released a publicly accessible catalog of 320 Job Labels. Each label is interpreted from job postings from many of the top companies in information technology, software, hardware, AI, retail marketing, manufacturing – the movers of our current economy. Skills Label Insights is our first report where we summarize the data from our catalog.

While we do not offer the breadth or reach of many of the standard job skills industry reports, produced by WEF, LinkedIn, Indeed, Zip Recruiter, etc., many of our insights are in-line with theirs and this is referred to in the report. Though with our insights, we offer two clear advantages.

First, our patented Job Label design with skill definitions and categorizations offers a refined lens. The Top 10 Technical and Transferable Skills, and Thinking Skills report identifies more precise, accurate, actionable skills than what is reported in the industry reports. The Thinking / Transferable Skill Combinations report offers an introspective job area based on a single thinking skill. The Job Label composition of 1 Thinking Skill, 3 Transferable Skills, and 7 Technical Skills (on average) drives this result.

Second, our Job Label utilizes our proprietary Skill Points (SP) algorithm to quantify job skills in both past experience and first year application. The Skill Points Progression from Tier 1 to Tier 5, 6 Tier I Jobs with Applied Skill Points and Usage Rates, and 9 Jobs Titled ‘Software Engineer’ and 5 Titled ‘Software Developer’ reports each highlight Skill Points as an ideal measurement for career progression and candidate evaluations.
