Hiring pulse
A hiring pulse is the rate of change in hiring demand rather than its level: how many reqs opened this week against the week before, for a company, a role or a market. Where an is-hiring signal says whether an account is recruiting, the pulse says whether it is accelerating.
1,062,693 signals arrived this week, against 1,153,513 the week before.
Direction is often the more actionable half. An employer that has carried twenty open roles all year is a steady state; the same employer going from four roles to twenty in a fortnight has decided something, and the decision is recent enough to still be budgeted. Reading the derivative is how a flat demand feed becomes a timing signal.
Because the pulse is a comparison, it inherits every counting problem of the thing being compared: duplicate re-listings that arrive in bursts read as a surge that never happened. A pulse is only trustworthy when both sides of the comparison were counted the same way, over windows of the same length, on the same deduplicated surface.
