Hiring trends

The Trends tab on organization pages shows how an organization's hiring activity has changed over time. It charts job post volume broken out by technology, job function, or other dimensions so you can see where a company is investing or pulling back.

What trends show

Trends display time-series charts of job post counts, typically over the last 12+ months. You can view trends by:

• Technologies — track adoption and decline of specific tools (e.g., see whether AWS or GCP mentions are growing)

• Job functions — see which departments are hiring more or fewer people over time

The charts are interactive — hover over data points to see exact counts, and use filters to focus on specific technologies or functions.

Using trends for selling

Trends help you build a narrative around an organization's direction:

• A sustained increase in a technology's mentions signals investment and potential budget

• A decline in a competitor's technology could mean they're evaluating alternatives

• Growing headcount in a specific function suggests scaling challenges that your product might address

• A flat trend after a period of growth might indicate a plateau or a strategic shift

Combine trends with intent signals to understand both what's happening now and how it fits into a longer pattern.
