During the Great Resignation, job seekers experienced a surge in opportunities and higher salaries. However, in today's competitive labor market, they are feeling the opposite, with some roles experiencing a decline in compensation.

The three roles that businesses are hiring for in large numbers are machine learning engineers, technical recruiters, and office managers, leading to an increase in salary offers to attract top talent.

According to a new analysis from Greenhouse and Pave, the hiring and compensation management platforms, respectively.

Companies are actively investing in AI capabilities to improve their efficiency and streamline processes, as evidenced by the increase in salary offers for AI-related roles, according to Jeremy Moulton, Greenhouse's vice president of corporate development and analytics.

He remarks that companies are primarily focused on maximizing profitability and optimizing efficiency.

What is the change in salaries for these jobs and its impact on future hiring demand?

Machine learning engineer

The median offer for machine learning engineers has increased by 53% from January 2023 to April 2024, from $148,300 to $226,944.

Not all tech jobs are as highly sought after or lucrative as software engineering. For instance, median pay for software engineers increased by 4% from $168,000 in January 2023 to $175,125 in April 2024.

Technical recruiters

Despite layoffs affecting recruiters in 2022, a recent increase in recruiter pay, particularly in tech, suggests businesses are resuming their hiring efforts and are willing to pay more to find top talent.

The salary for technical recruiters has increased from $83,750 in September 2023 to $130,750 in April 2024, representing a 56% jump.

According to Moulton, the increase in pay suggests that possessing AI skills or the ability to identify them in a candidate is highly valued in the current job market.

Using AI effectively can help you work more efficiently and creatively, while for recruiters, it can indicate a candidate's proficiency in the skillset.

"Moulton emphasizes the importance of technical recruiting in organizations, stating that recruiters should be able to identify and assess candidates' skillsets at the beginning of the sourcing process to attract the best quality candidates."

Office and facilities manager

As employees spend more time in offices, businesses are hiring staff to manage their building spaces.

The median pay for office and facilities managers has increased by 15% from $87,000 in January 2024 to $100,000 as of April.

Moulton predicts that the demand for hiring and salaries will increase before stabilizing, particularly for office managers as businesses fulfill their staffing requirements.

Over 70% of open job postings on Greenhouse resulted in a hire in the last three months, indicating a sustainable rate of hiring growth.

To succeed in the current job market, Moulton advises keeping your skills sharp, networking, and understanding that job openings are still in flux during the pandemic recovery.
