Results From The Technical Documentation Staffing Survey

December 18. 2025 we'll unpack the findings of the 2025 Technical Documentation Staffing Survey from The Content Wrangler and ProSpring Technical Staffing

Join us for Coffee and Content with Jack Molisani, founder of ProSpring Technical Staffing and the organizer of the LavaCon Conference on Content Strategy and Technical Documentation Management. On this episode we’ll unpack the findings of the 2025 Technical Documentation Staffing Survey from The Content Wrangler and ProSpring — the most comprehensive look yet at how content teams are hiring, where they’re struggling, and what skills are most in demand.

Survey data show that while over 60% of managers face headcount authorization hurdles, many are also frustrated by a lack of candidates with structured authoring, API documentation, and AI/prompt engineering experience.

We’ll explore how these realities are reshaping hiring priorities — and what it means for writers, recruiters, and managers navigating today’s competitive job market.

Expect an honest discussion about:

• Which roles are most in demand (and which are fading)

• Why compensation and remote work remain hot-button issues

• How AI and automation are changing the skills employers value

• What organizations can do to attract and retain top technical talent

Whether you’re hiring, job hunting, or simply curious where the profession is headed, this conversation offers a rare data-driven snapshot of the industry — straight from one of its leading staffing experts.
