UK Technology start-up job postings have increased by 22 percent since the same time last year, as SME’s enjoy renewed growth.

A study by Silicon Milkroundabout revealed the rapid increase in job postings through the analysis of recruitment postings, finding that tech start-ups delivering software-as-a-service were offering the highest numbers of new postings.

Analysis of the distribution of job positions found that London unsurprisingly contained the highest concentration of new job listings, with Cambridge, Brighton and Bristol following as the next highest locations for employment listings.

Skills in high demand include knowledge and experience in the Ruby programming language with 14 percent of all start-ups looking for knowledge of Ruby within the advertised roles.
