What Data Is Available?

When selecting a job role and U.S. or Canadian location, you'll see a panel of external labor market insights, including:

  • Candidate Supply
    The estimated number of candidates in the selected location who match the job role.
  • Hiring Demand
    The number of active job postings for the selected role and metro area. This reflects current market demand for that type of talent.
  • Time to Fill
    Based on average job posting duration (i.e. how long postings for this role typically stay open). This is used as a proxy for how long it may take to fill the role.
  • Compensation Benchmarks
    Advertised salary insights for the role and region, shown at the lower, average, and higher ends of salary ranges. These figures are derived from real-world job ads with disclosed salaries.

 

How the Data Is Calculated

To keep the insights accurate and actionable, Beamery combines several large-scale datasets including:

  • Public job postings scraped from thousands of sites
    This includes employer websites, job boards, and career portals. Postings are deduplicated and refreshed regularly.
  • Online professional profiles and resumes
    Used to estimate candidate supply based on job titles, skills, and locations.
  • Government labor statistics and surveys
    To supplement market-level trends and enhance geographic accuracy.

 

Salary Data

  • Only postings with numeric salary information are included.
  • If a range is given, the midpoint is used in calculations.
  • All salaries are standardised to annual figures.
  • Salary data reflects what was posted by employers at the time and is not adjusted for inflation.

 

Supply & Demand Ratio

To help estimate market competitiveness, we divide:

  • Candidate Supply (estimated number of qualified professionals)
    by
  • Hiring Demand (number of active job postings)

This gives a directional view of how tight or saturated the market is for a given role.


 

Location Mapping

When a user selects a city or town in the U.S. or Canada, Beamery maps it to the nearest metropolitan area to ensure consistent labor market data.
