Sales and support outgrow engineering, which remains the largest function
Engineering and data roles account for 25% of all hires through Multiplier, the largest single function. Continued volatility around H-1B visas has remained a driving force behind that demand. Customer support hiring grew 59%, also outpacing the 53% platform average.
Sales is now the top hiring function in several mature international markets: Australia (28%), Germany (26%) and the UK (22%).
