On the other hand, company managers highlighted the necessary flexibility of future employees: it was observed both in personal qualities (36% of respondents mentioned it as a key characteristic when hiring) and in professional skills ( 49% of employers demand “soft skills”). .

Initiative and ingenuity are welcomed by only 11% of respondents; Teamwork also takes a backseat (13%). In addition to the already mentioned flexibility, employers are interested in having experience working with modern technologies (17%).
