The year 2020 is profoundly marked by the health crisis linked to the Coronavirus epidemic, which has had multiple economic impacts, both on household consumption and on employment. While many sectors have suffered from confinement, many companies have also had to resort to redundancies or have been forced to continue with partial unemployment measures.
One sector nevertheless stands out and becomes the one that recruits the most in 2020, that is the digital market. Indeed, the web professions are on the rise thanks to the many companies in the digital sector, but also to organisations that tend to digitalise more and more and therefore call on experts in the field. Thus, beyond the profession of developers, a certain number of functions have emerged according to the new needs of companies.
We can, for example, quote:
