"While the number of opportunities and searches remains modest, Indeed’s data shows companies are increasingly seeking experts to focus on this new technology - and jobseekers have been quick to react," said Indeed UK managing director Bill Richards.

‘‘It is worth noting that these are specialised roles and they can be hard to fill. However, blockchain is a field that is certainly worth watching as both jobseekers and employers seize the opportunity to capitalise on its potential.’’
