Frequently Asked Questions
How is job market analysis different from job market data?
Job market data refers to raw listing extractions. Job market analysis focuses on derived insights: skill demand trends, compensation benchmarks, hiring velocity by company, and geographic talent concentration.
Can I track how quickly specific roles are being hired?
Yes. Monitor job listing pages on a scheduled cadence. When a listing disappears or changes status, that signals a hire. Track posting-to-removal duration as a proxy for time-to-fill.
