How to Use the Industry Insights Dashboard

Before you write the CV, it helps to know what your market is actually asking for. The dashboard covers five sectors — tech, healthcare, finance, marketing, energy — and shows salary trends, the most requested skills, and how the field is moving.

The steps

1. Pick the sector closest to yours from the list
2. Read the salary trends to place the market at your level
3. Note the most in-demand skills and compare them with your own
4. Reorder your CV's skills section to lead with the demanded ones
5. Keep the figures for your next salary conversation

Practical tips

• These are context indicators, not an offer — never anchor on a single number
• Prioritise skills that appear across several sources rather than the newest one
• Compare your sector with an adjacent one to spot transferable skills

Common mistakes to avoid

• Treating the sector average as your final negotiating number, ignoring country, seniority and company size
• Chasing every trending skill instead of deepening the fundamentals of your field

Frequently asked questions

Are these figures current?

They are directional indicators shown inside the tool, useful for deciding which skills to lead with — not a precise negotiating reference.

What if my sector is not listed?

Pick the closest one. Many skills transfer, and the main benefit is seeing which skills deserve the top of your skills section.
