Tech recruiter Harvey Nash reports that new priorities for many businesses have changed the type of tech skills most in demand. Cybersecurity, enterprise architecture, technical architecture, organizational change, and cloud skills are at the top of the list. That marks a change from last year, when big data and analytics, followed by cybersecurity, enterprise architecture, technical architecture, and DevOps were most in demand.
