Hiring Trends

Overview

Hiring Trends break down which departments a company is actively building—Sales, Engineering, Marketing, IT, and 20+ other functions.

We ingest 80M+ open roles across 21M+ companies and classify each position into one of 23 department categories using job title normalization. When a company crosses hiring thresholds for a specific function, we emit a signal with sample job titles, top hiring locations, and open roles as a percentage of current headcount. A single company can produce multiple signals if they're hiring aggressively across several departments.
