About the comparison
The figures count recorded SignalHire searches for January through June in each year. Categories include industries and job functions. Searches can have different purposes, and the table does not identify each user’s intent. The analysis does not measure job postings, completed hires, or national employment.
Advice for candidates and employers
Job seekers can make their profiles more useful by describing the tasks they have performed and the credentials they hold. An accountant can name the reporting standard used and explain responsibility for a closing cycle. A lawyer can state practice areas and jurisdictions. Candidates should include certifications only when they actually hold them.
Employers should define the work before selecting a title. A financial-reporting vacancy and an investment role need different search criteria. Compare local applicant numbers and interview results before assuming a shortage. The platform changes do not establish salary pressure, candidate availability, or the number of employers competing for each person.
