THE PROBLEM
THE FINANCIALS TELL YOU WHERE A COMPANY HAS BEEN
Earnings, filings and reported revenue look backward, and arrive on a lag. By the time a turn reaches the print, the market has often already moved. The read you want sits earlier, in what a company is doing right now.
OUR SOLUTION
HIRING IS FORWARD-LOOKING INTENT
Job postings are commitments a company makes before the results land. A shift in where, what, and how much a company is hiring is an early read on its direction. Market IQ structures that activity into a signal you can act on before it shows up in the financials.

The data behind the signal, built on Market IQ
An early signal is only worth acting on if the data holds up
Web-scraped postings are noisy, duplicated, and inconsistent across markets. Market IQ delivers the opposite. Counts are deduplicated, every posting is enriched across 50+ data points, and cross-lingual taxonomies keep companies, sectors and geographies comparable. The data maps to a tradable universe at company and ticker level verify, it is real time, and it is point-in-time with no look-ahead, so your backtests reflect what was knowable at the time. The same data is rigorous enough for official statistics.

Academic research in Management Science finds changes in job postings are positively associated with future firm performance, more so when hiring reflects growth than replacement.
Up to 15 years of history is available depending on the country, via the data feed and API. The portal holds two years, with point-in-time postings for backtesting and model validation.
