# AI Drives Digital Skills Demand as U.S. Tech Hiring Outlook Shows Resilience | MAN Stock News

> The U.S. tech sector remains strong, with a Net Employment Outlook (NEO) of 46% for Q4 2025, despite a slight decline from previous quarters. Over half of tech employers plan to increase headcount, driven by the demand for digital skills, particularly in AI. Challenges include attracting qualified talent and filling complex roles. Globally, the U.S. ranks closely behind Belgium, India, and Canada in tech hiring expectations. The report highlights opportunities for job seekers with in-demand digital skills, especially in AI, cloud migration, and cybersecurity.

*Experis survey: U.S. tech sector remains one of the strongest globally, with one in four employers hiring for digital skills in Q4*

, /PRNewswire/ -- U.S. tech hiring is cooling compared to last year but remains one of the labor market's bright spots. According to Experis' latestTech Talent Outlook, tech employers in the U.S. report aNet Employment Outlook (NEO) of 46%for the fourth quarter of 2025 — down two points from Q3 and four points year-over-year, yet still ten points above the global average (36%) and among the top hiring outlooks worldwide.

More than half (58%) of U.S. tech employers expect to increase headcount this quarter, while just 11% anticipate reductions. Nearly one in four employers (24%) say they are hiring specifically to keep pace with digital advancements such as artificial intelligence, underscoring how demand for digital skills is reshaping the labor market even amid broader economic uncertainty.

"When we look at the labor market, there is a more complex picture than some of the headlines suggest. There are pockets of caution, but tech continues to stand out,"saidKye Mitchell, President of Experis U.S."The story isn't that jobs are vanishing, it's that the bar for skills is rising. AI is part of that story, but not as a replacement for people. The real challenge is the skills mismatch, and companies know they need to invest in the right talent to stay competitive."

**Top Challenges for U.S. Tech Employers**

-   Attracting qualified talent (41%)
-   Improving candidate experience (37%)
-   Filling complex tech roles (36%)

Globally, Belgium (52%), India (48%), and Canada (47%) lead tech hiring expectations, with the U.S. close behind at 46%. The worldwide tech sector has moderated by 2 points from the previous quarter and remained flat compared to the same period last year, reflecting broader economic uncertainty, though significant regional variations persist across established tech hubs.

For job seekers with in-demand digital skills, this sustained hiring momentum creates significant opportunities — particularly in areas like AI implementation, cloud migration, and cybersecurity, where employers are prioritizing long-term transformation.
