Job Spotter · Job demand data
Job demand data
What people are looking for, week by week. Job advert data shows what employers want; this shows what job seekers want, by role and place, and how many listings they found when they looked.
Look something up
What it shows
- Searches each week for a role, a job family or everything, in a town or city, a country, or remote.
- How many listings people found per search, a simple sign of where job seekers outnumber jobs.
- The most searched roles in a place, and whether each is rising or falling over the last four weeks.
- The places where a role is searched most, and the easiest places to find openings: where each search finds the most listings.
How it stays anonymous
Each week Job Spotter adds one to a count for a kind of job in a place. It keeps up to three words of the role, only when they look like a job title, and the town or city. No internet address, account or full search is kept with the count. A count is shown or licensed only once it holds 10 or more searches, so no single search can be seen. The details are in the privacy page.
