# Hiring trends The Trends tab on [organization pages](/web-application/organization-pages.md) 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](/web-application/intent-signals.md) to understand both what's happening now and how it fits into a longer pattern. ## Availability Trends are available on Pro and Enterprise plans. Free users see a limited view. Trends data is computed daily from Sumble's historical job post archive, which spans multiple years for most covered organizations. --- # Agent Instructions: Querying This Documentation If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.
