Every night Jobo compares each company's job postings with its own history across 7.5M+ live jobs and tells you who is surging, entering a new country, opening a leadership search or adopting a new technology.
Free during the beta, switched on per account.
A job posting is a budget decision made public. Each signal is one company-level event, with the company, a strength from 1 to 100 and the jobs behind it.
The company is hiring more than it usually does.
hiring_surgeNew jobs this week far above the company's own eight-week average.function_surgeOne job category posting well above its own norm at that company.hiring_resumedThe first new job after two months or more without one.Hiring somewhere, or for something, it has not before.
new_countryA first job in a country the company has not posted in for six months.new_cityFirst jobs in a city away from everywhere it already hires.new_functionA first job in a job category it has not hired for in six months.first_roleA first posting for an occupation, inside a function it already hires for.Senior roles opening and closing.
leadership_hireA newly posted director, VP, head-of or C-level role.leadership_role_closedA senior role that was open for weeks, closed and stayed closed.New tools and skills showing up in job postings.
new_technologyA first mention of a product or tool from a curated technology list.new_skillA hard skill several new jobs ask for, for the first time in six months.Hiring is cooling, or roles are staying open.
hiring_slowdownOpen roles well down on eight weeks ago, with few new postings.hard_to_fillA job still open after weeks, or posted again after it closed.Job data is noisy: boards move, scrapers miss a night, the same job is listed twice. The checks exist so a signal means the company changed, not the data.
A surge is this week against the same company's last eight. An employer that always posts 200 jobs a week is not surging; one that goes from 9 to 42 is.
A job posted long before Jobo first saw it is old stock, not a new opening. A job that appears on two of a company's boards, or is taken down and re-listed, counts once.
Counts only become a signal when the company's career site was read successfully through the whole period. A scraping gap is never a slowdown.
Each signal carries the numbers behind it and up to five job ids you can open. The same event does not fire again while it cools down.
Filter by signal type, strength, industry, company size or country, or pass your own account list as domains. The same key and company ids as the jobs API.
