The heatmap and companion guide help organizations visualize talent demands across 10 business functions, including new and emerging AI roles, to aid in workforce planning

MANILA, Philippines, October 21, 2026--Emapta, a pioneer in the outsourcing industry specializing in highly-skilled, AI-ready dedicated staffing and intelligent workforce transformation solutions, today introduced the Emapta Talent Heatmap™ – an interactive talent map that identifies the hottest, most in-demand jobs worldwide. It's a critical resource as organizations increasingly seek highly skilled talent around the globe to fill key gaps and transform their workforces for the AI era.

Emapta also offers a companion guide that provides the top 100 roles ranked by demand across 10 business functions plus the 50 most in demand emerging roles. Drawing on the Emapta Global Talent Demand Index™, which combines global research and job-market intelligence with Emapta's proprietary hiring data to identify and rank in-demand roles, the guide highlights both current talent demand and the next wave of emerging roles to assist companies in understanding where to build their talent pipelines ahead of the market.

The new resource comes as organizations face growing pressure to deliver value faster while managing increasing business and technology complexity. At the same time, persistent skills gaps are making it more difficult to find the qualified, dedicated talent needed to execute business priorities. As a result, companies are increasingly looking globally to build specialized teams, access hard-to-find skills and transform their workforces.

From finance and accounting to technology, healthcare and engineering, global enterprises are increasingly outsourcing specialized – and often mission-critical – talent to accelerate growth, improve resilience and close critical skills gaps. The trend reflects a significant evolution in outsourcing: from a strategy focused primarily on cost containment and traditional back-office functions to a strategic workforce model that gives organizations access to specialized skills and global talent needed to achieve broader business objectives.

Emapta's data shows that accounting, technology, and healthcare roles are expanding most aggressively with dedicated staffing, specifically the hiring of manager and highly skilled specialist roles and leadership positions. And across all business functions, finance and accounting, engineering, data analytics, IT/tech, and customer service remain the most widely outsourced. AI roles are also increasingly sought after as organizations look for specialists who can develop, implement and manage AI solutions across their operations.
