The Polish IT job market in 2025 is entering a new phase. After a prolonged period of contraction, the latest data confirms that the market has stopped shrinking and is gradually stabilizing. This article is based primarily on the latest IT salary and employment report published by justjoin.it, which remains one of the most reliable sources of insight into the technology sector in Poland.
As a recruitment company actively operating in the Polish and European IT market, GLOBRECS closely monitors these trends to support both employers and candidates with data-driven decisions. The 2025 figures clearly show that while the explosive growth of previous years has not returned, the market has found a new, more sustainable equilibrium.
According to the 2025 justjoin.it IT market report, a total of 110,996 job advertisements were published on the platform during the year. This represents an 8.42% year-on-year increase compared to 2024. While this growth may appear moderate at first glance, its importance cannot be overstated. After two consecutive years of decline, the Polish IT job market has recorded its first positive shift.
For recruiters at GLOBRECS, this change is particularly meaningful. It indicates that companies have completed their post-boom adjustments and are once again opening positions—albeit with greater caution and clearer expectations.
To fully understand the current situation, it is essential to look at the broader timeline. 2022 was a historic year for IT recruitment in Poland. justjoin.it recorded 175,610 job postings, a staggering 182% increase compared to 2021. This period marked the peak of the global IT boom, driven by rapid digitalization, remote work expansion, and aggressive hiring strategies.
However, this growth proved unsustainable.
In 2023, the number of job offers dropped to 129,836, a 26% year-on-year decrease. The correction deepened in 2024, when only 99,363 offers were published, representing a further 23.5% decline. Many companies froze hiring, restructured teams, or focused on cost optimization.
The year 2025 effectively closes this correction phase. The market has not returned to the highs of 2022, but it has found a stable range between 100,000 and 110,000 job postings annually. Notably, this level is still nearly twice as high as in 2021, confirming that the Polish IT sector remains structurally strong.
Stabilization does not mean stagnation. On the contrary, it reflects a mature market where quality has replaced quantity. Employers are hiring with greater precision, focusing on well-defined roles and concrete business needs.
From the perspective of GLOBRECS, this shift has three major implications:
For candidates, this means fewer “easy wins” but stronger career opportunities for those with relevant experience and up-to-date competencies.
The 2025 data from justjoin.it clearly shows how demand is distributed across experience levels:
For junior candidates, the market remains challenging. Entry-level roles are limited, and competition is high. Employers expect strong fundamentals, practical skills, and demonstrable project experience. At GLOBRECS, we consistently advise junior candidates to focus on portfolios, internships, and niche technologies to improve their market visibility.
For mid and senior professionals, the picture is far more positive. More than 95% of all job offers are targeted at these levels, confirming that experience remains the most valuable currency in the Polish IT sector.
The 2025 justjoin.it report confirms that flexibility is no longer a benefit—it is an expectation.
Remote roles account for the largest share of the market, while hybrid work recorded the fastest growth, reflecting companies’ desire to balance collaboration with flexibility. Fully on-site roles now represent just 5.65% of all IT job offers, continuing their gradual decline.
For recruitment partners like GLOBRECS, this means sourcing talent without geographic limitations and supporting employers in building distributed teams.
The Polish IT job market is highly segmented. Each specialization follows its own rules, and seniority distribution varies dramatically.
Data & Analytics leads the market with 11,630 job offers, including 6,714 senior roles. This category alone surpasses the combined volume of smaller niches such as Go, Scala, and Game Development.
JavaScript remains one of the most versatile and in-demand technologies, with 9,882 job postings, covering a broad range of experience levels.
At the other extreme, Architecture is almost entirely senior-driven. 79.7% of roles require advanced experience, while junior candidates had access to only 18 positions nationwide. Similar patterns appear in Go and Scala, where junior opportunities are virtually non-existent.
Conversely, Support roles offer the most accessible entry point, with 20.8% of offers aimed at juniors – a total of 513 positions annually.
Mid-level professionals form the backbone of the Polish IT workforce. Categories such as HTML, Support, Administration, and Testing show that over half of all job offers target mid-level candidates.
This reflects employers’ preference for professionals who can work independently while still growing into senior responsibilities. For GLOBRECS, mid-level recruitment remains one of the most dynamic segments, balancing availability with high employer demand.
Senior professionals dominate categories like Architecture, Go, and Scala, where more than two-thirds of all roles require extensive experience. These positions are critical to system design, scalability, and long-term technological strategy.
Companies are willing to invest in senior talent because the cost of poor architectural decisions far outweighs the expense of hiring top-tier experts. This trend is particularly visible in international projects managed from Poland, where local expertise supports global operations.
The 2025 Polish IT market data makes one thing clear: choosing a specialization is not only about compensation or technology preferences. It directly affects job availability, career mobility, and long-term stability.
At GLOBRECS, we emphasize that sustainable career growth depends on understanding market demand at each stage -from junior to senior. Technologies with balanced seniority distribution offer smoother career progression, while niche specializations may deliver higher salaries but fewer entry points.
The Polish IT job market in 2025, as analyzed through the justjoin.it report, has entered a phase of stability after two turbulent years. Growth has returned, albeit at a controlled pace, and the market now rewards experience, specialization, and adaptability.
For employers, this means access to a more predictable talent pool. For professionals, it signals the importance of continuous development and informed career choices. As a recruitment partner, GLOBRECS remains committed to translating these insights into real opportunities for companies and candidates navigating the evolving IT landscape.
