The skill demand visualizer is live

You can now see what Finnish employers are actually asking for — by city, by skill category, updated weekly.

What's in it

Skill demand by city. Helsinki, Espoo, Tampere, Turku, and Oulu. Pick a city, see which skills appear most often in job postings there. No extrapolation from global rankings. No surveys from 2023. Actual postings, this week.

Category filters. Frontend, backend, cloud, data, mobile. Filter by what you're learning or considering. The chart adjusts.

Trend data. For individual skills, you can see whether demand is rising or falling over the past three months. Useful for deciding whether to go deep on something or move on.

City comparison. Side-by-side view of two cities. If you're weighing a relocation or just curious whether React is as dominant in Tampere as it is in Helsinki — now you can check.

What it's built on

Job postings from Duunitori and The Hub, updated weekly through an automated pipeline. Skills are extracted from job descriptions and matched against a curated taxonomy. The taxonomy is opinionated — it reflects what Finnish employers actually use in postings, not what people wish they used.

What's next

More cities. Better trend resolution. Possibly occupation-layer filtering so you can see demand by role type, not just skill. The roadmap is driven by what's useful to people actually using this.
