In Germany companies discover blockchain technology!!!

Hi Steemit Community ☮

Companies discover blockchain and banks hesitate.
Many companies are currently developing jobs in the field of blockchain technology.

The development of the blockchain technology now also slowly creates its own labor market: In the first four months of this year 42% more jobs with blockchain coverage were already written out than in the whole of 2016. The IT and communications industry, and the automotive and energy sectors. Striking: Although the FinTechs are doing a lot, the banking industry is still hesitant.

According to the Jobjift meta-search engine, almost twice as many blockchain jobs were created in 2017, as in the whole of 2016. However, the professional profile does not seem to have been sharpened yet: the basic principles of blockchain and cryptography are fundamental. This indicates that - due to the novelty of the technology - an activity in the blockchain environment is possible even without deep specialist knowledge. These can be learned within the framework of the job, put in place the case that general IT knowledge, for example in the programming, exist.

Over the past twelve months, a total of 80 identified blockchain experts have been sought. Although demand is initially low, it has seen a rapid increase: alone, 59 percent of the bodies surveyed were posted in the first four months of this year, 42 percent more than in 2016. Most agencies, 29, Followed by consultants (eight indicators) and scientific staff (seven calls for tenders). Information and communication technology also turned out to be the industry with the strongest demand: it is attributable to a quarter of all switched jobs. This is followed by the automobile industry with nine vacancies, research facilities wrote eight positions, the energy sector six, consulting companies and the transport sector five each. The financial industry, which offers the most powerful field of application for the underlying blockchain technology by using virtual currencies such as Bitcoin, surprisingly did not publish any ads. This suggests that the financial world currently relies on external IT service providers or recognizes the potential of the blockchain, but does not yet figure it.

Nearly 40 percent of the calls for proposals demand knowledge about the blockchain - but they are generally satisfied with basic knowledge
But what are the prerequisites for these blockchain experts to meet? A clear requirement profile does not arise from calls for tenders, which list more than 50 different specialist qualifications. The most important access requirement is the command of the English language (38 entries). This is followed by knowledge of the blockchain (31 times mentioned), but mostly a basic understanding of the technology is sufficient. The same is true with cryptography: 25 job advertisements require a basic knowledge of encryption techniques. Programming skills (17 times listed) are also beneficial for a blockchain job - the most popular languages ​​are Java with 16, JavaScript with seven as well as Python with five entries. Experiences with agile development methods like Scrum are mentioned twelve times. As far as the desired degree is concerned, a study of computer science (34 mentions), business informatics or economics (ten times mentioned) opens up the best opportunities.

More than a third of the advertisements underline the need for teamwork. There is a consensus among the personality traits: a total of only 12 characteristics can be identified, above all teamwork - 29 indicators. Excellent communication skills (23 mentions), self-employment (20 times mentioned), high motivation and willingness to learn (10 times each) are also among the most common requirements. In addition, a structured approach seems to be particularly in demand (named nine times).

Joblift is a meta search engine for currently more than 1,000,000 jobs from over 100 partner job shops. A clear user focus as well as a mature technology are at the center of product development. The company was founded in 2015 by Lukas Erlebach and Malte Widenka. At the two locations in Hamburg and Berlin, Joblift currently employs a team of around 40 employees.
