Methodology

The hiring pulse counts every open job posting Applystead indexes on employers' own application systems and on public job boards and employment services, except LinkedIn, counted once per company, title and place. Nothing here comes from Applystead members or from applications sent through Applystead. Its figures come from two populations, each stated with its table.

• Open roles and companies hiring: those open roles, and the companies with at least one, at the month's latest update. Account codes and hosts that name no employer are left out.
• New postings in the last 30 days: the postings the employer dated in the 30 days to the month's latest update, or, when the employer gives no date, that Applystead first found in that window.
• Companies with the most open roles: those companies ranked by open roles; staffing agencies and account codes are not ranked.
• Top tech employers hiring: companies whose top roles on their Applystead company page include at least 10 openings in software, data, machine learning and AI, product, platform, security or engineering management (or 5 that are a quarter of their openings), ranked by those tech openings, with the ones open to remote applicants in the US.
• Postings that list pay and remote postings: shares of the postings with an Applystead job page, a sample, not every open role; pay means a range the employer published, never an estimate.
• Median days open: days from posting to closing of the job pages whose posting closed in the month, shown once at least 200 closed.

The current month updates every hour; a past month keeps the figures of its last update.
