Europe is proving a hotspot for Internet of things (IoT) hiring among food manufacturers, according to analysis from GlobalData.
In the three months ending February, the number of roles on offer in Europe made up 49.7% of total IoT jobs, up from 28.4% in the same quarter last year.

That was followed by North America, which saw a 2.6 year-on-year percentage point increase in the IoT roles advertised.
GlobalData tracks the number of new job postings from key companies in various sectors over time. Using textual analysis, these job advertisements are then classified thematically. The data and analytics group, Just Food’s parent company, seeks to group key company information by topic to see which companies are best placed to weather the disruptions coming to their industries.
By tracking the themes across job advertisements, GlobalData says it can see which companies are leading the way on specific issues and which are dragging their heels – and importantly where the market is expanding and contracting.
