Many say that finding the right professional\nis difficult in this sector. The trends are in for 2020, and people are planning to add both\nfull-time team members and freelancers to fill creative roles at their companies.\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Most of the roles are in things like web design and user experience. With tech-related jobs\nleading the way, better salaries and freelance rates can be expected.\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Creative development and web production round out the creative roles that managers are\nlooking to fill out this year.\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>People are looking for those with skills in relationship-building, with content marketing and\nstrategy as well as social media and digital strategy topping the list of in-demand skills.\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Vacancies also exist in AI, machine learning, data analysis, A\/B testing, and UI design. It\nseems that everyone wants an excellent web experience, and companies are here to\ndeliver!\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Creativity, collaboration, and problem-solving skills are the most needed soft skills within\ncreative fields.\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>These skills contribute to a lot of things in the workforce, but likely they are wanted because\nof the sheer volume of content and advertising needed online.\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>These skills help people create massive amounts of content that really differentiate\ncompanies as they try to appeal to consumers.\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It\u2019s a candidate\u2019s market this year, and that means perks for senior employees and those\nwith in-demand skills.\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Some areas employers are seeking to improve are with employee wellness, flex options,\nand signing bonuses. While wages haven\u2019t risen much in the U.S. for the last few years, it\ncould be the year that trend discontinues if the field remains a candidate\u2019s market for long.\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Image is everything, as they say, and that remains true for online. This is the year\ncompanies are seeking to elevate their online offerings and presence. Candidates who help\nthem stand out in this area will find themselves with more competitive packages than\nothers.\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You might be surprised to find data analysis and AI listed in the creative category. But these\njobs, while not related to content and branding as much as some other creative jobs, require\nsome creativity as well as a sense of numbers.\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Without information, companies don\u2019t have much to go on when it comes to the creative\nmaterials and agenda needed. So these newer fields of AI and data analysis are integral to\ncompanies who want their creative departments to make informed decisions about\ndirection.\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In addition to skills and experience, employers are still looking for the old stand-by\u2019s:\ncollaboration, adaptability, business acumen, curiosity, and a killer portfolio.\n<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Creative hiring is important for so many people!
