Coverage and Availability
During the beta, Talent Market Insights is only available for U.S. metropolitan areas. The data is displayed in English and is currently accessible only within the Vacancy Calibration workflow. Global coverage will be introduced after the beta.
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.
