TWO LEADING PERSPECTIVES, ONE COMPLETE PICTURE
The most complete view of the Portuguese tech talent industry, combining community-driven data and insights from the inside of recruitment processes, to help professionals, companies, and decision-makers navigate the ecosystem with clarity.
- Average salaries have stabilized, with a small growth of 0.9% from 2025.
- Gender gap continues to slowly reduce (0.5%).
- Foreign employer hiring is growing (%), led by the UK (25%) and USA (17%). Proximity to Spain isn’t the driver, access to high-income markets is.
- AI is in the workflow but trust is still conditional. 60% believe AI will make them more productive but 32% are still unsure where AI is heading.
- In recruitment, 47% believe that AI should only be used with human oversight.
- Compensation matters, but it’s not the whole story. Extra vacation days, paid time off and health benefits are something to also take into consideration.
For the first time, Landing.Jobs and Damia have joined forces to produce a single, comprehensive view of the Portuguese tech talent industry.
Landing.Jobs has spent years capturing the voice of tech professionals, their ambitions, frustrations, salaries, and career moves. Damia has observed the industry from the inside of recruitment processes, helping companies build and scale tech teams across Portugal.
Together, these two perspectives create something new: the report that combines community-driven data with recruitment intelligence, designed to reduce information asymmetry and empower everyone in the ecosystem, like professionals, hiring teams, and decision-makers alike.
