About HireJack
Lift-ready boilerplate for articles:
Methodology
- First-party collection. Postings are collected daily, directly from each company's own careers site or applicant-tracking system — never from third-party job boards or aggregators.
- Live counts, not estimates. Every figure reflects positions that are open right now. Nothing is surveyed, sampled, or modeled from filings.
- Normalized taxonomy. Raw job titles are classified into 92 standardized roles across 13 families; skills are extracted from full job descriptions against a 202-skill dictionary.
- Compensation from the source. Salary figures come only from pay ranges companies publish in the posting itself (current market median: $180,550).
- Historical depth. Daily market time series since March 2026, plus monthly snapshots per company and per skill.
