As tech companies scale across Poland, the hiring landscape is no longer just competitive, it’s asymmetric. Some roles attract 100+ applicants.
Others take over a month to fill despite active sourcing.
According to recent data (itselecta.com, Poland Insight, agency-partners.com), backend and frontend technologies still dominate the Polish job market.
What’s far more challenging is hiring for roles in infrastructure, data, and AI. These aren’t just niche profiles anymore – they’re business – critical.
We’ve broken it down below.
What’s in highest demand? Job postings in 2025
- Java -18.9%
- Python – 19.4%
- .NET – strong in enterprise
But: frontend postings often get 100+ applicants. React/Angular – leading the frontend.
Where are the real shortages? Hard-to-fill roles in 2025
- DevOps & Cloud (AWS, K8s, Terraform)
- Data Engineers (Airflow, Spark, dbt)
- AI/ML specialists
- Cybersecurity experts
Avg. time to hire: 30 – 40 days – and growing.
Seniority mismatch
- 52% of tech openings = senior roles
- Only 6% = junior roles
Demand is top-heavy. Supply isn’t keeping up. That’s not just a hiring bottleneck – it’s a long-term risk for the ecosystem.
What it means for you?
If you’re scaling: Mid-level backend/frontend devs Data, DevOps, AI – they are still hireable!!!
You “just” need:
- faster hiring
- stronger positioning, not just ads
- active outreach
This is now a strategic function, not just HR.
What we use that actually works?
- Clear, well-defined role profiles attract better fit candidates
- Proactive sourcing, especially for senior talent who rarely apply but respond to the right offer
- Matching beyond the tech stack – values, team setup, long-term growth
- Fast, transparent communication
- Real-time market data helps align salary expectations, flexibility, and role design
