Wroclaw’s Tech Talent Pool in 2023

November 3, 2023

Wroclaw is one of Poland’s five leading tech hubs, home to development centres, startups, and major companies. But what do the tech talent stats reveal about Wroclaw’s talent pool? Let’s dive into the numbers.

16,244 Tech Professionals

LinkedIn data analysed by Ntiative shows Wroclaw boasting 16,244 software engineering professionals across 42 key job titles. While smaller than Warsaw and Kraków, this sizeable pool still ranks Wroclaw among Poland’s top tech talent hubs.

130 New Profiles in 12 Months

Wroclaw’s talent base is expanding slower than the other hubs, with 130 new tech talent profiles added over the past year, according to LinkedIn. This influx of new profiles indicates that Wroclaw continues to attract aspiring professionals.

2,695 Changed Jobs in 12 Months

An active job market exists in Wroclaw, with 2,695 tech professionals changing employers in the past 12 months. Professionals are taking advantage of mobility to access new challenges and opportunities.

429 Open Tech Roles

Strong demand persists for Wroclaw’s tech talent, with 429 open roles listed on LinkedIn as of August 2022. Companies are hungry for skills in areas like JavaScript, Java, Python, and .NET.

3,600 Open to New Opportunities

Supply is also abundant, with 3,600 professionals in Wroclaw open to new job opportunities. For recruiters, this presents a large pool of viable candidates already looking.

84% Male, 16% Female

Like other Polish tech hubs, women remain underrepresented at just 16% of Wroclaw’s talent pool. Expanding access and training for women in tech should be an area of focus.

1.6 Years Average Tenure

Professionals switch employers frequently, with an average tenure of 1.6 years in Wroclaw. Job mobility allows workers to level up skills and pay by pursuing new challenges.

Top Universities Fueling Talent

Wroclaw benefits from several high-quality universities pumping out tech talent:

  • Wroclaw University of Science and Technology
  • University of Wroclaw
  • Wroclaw University of Economics and Business

These schools supply graduates with up-to-date tech skills and knowledge.

Net Migration from Ukraine and Belarus

Wroclaw enjoys net inflows of tech professionals from Ukraine (+174) and Belarus (+163). The political situation and conflict in the neighbouring country make Poland a preferred destination for those leaving these nations.

Top Companies Growing

Wroclaw’s talent pool growth is led by emerging companies like Eviden (+533%) and Sollers Consulting (+163%). But major tech employers like Nokia, Capgemini and EPAM Systems also boast strong talent pools.

Leading-Edge Skills on the Rise

Wroclaw professionals are increasing proficiency in high-demand skills like Terraform, Kubernetes, AWS, CI/CD, and Azure. This helps align talent with the needs of innovative companies.

The Verdict

While smaller than Warsaw and Kraków, Wroclaw offers robust depth and diversity of tech talent. Ongoing growth, university pipelines, high mobility, net migration, and cutting-edge skills make Wroclaw a compelling location for tech professionals and employers.

For those looking to tap into Poland’s impressive talent base, Wroclaw deserves strong consideration alongside Kraków and Warsaw. The statistics depict a hub building momentum as a coveted destination for European tech talent.
