Description

A Hiring by Department event tracks when a company is actively recruiting for roles within specific departments and locations. This data helps monitor workforce expansion, industry hiring trends, and competitive recruitment strategies. Important: The Hiring by Department event surfaces only recent department hiring trends within the last quarter (timestamp_from should be set to the past 3 months). If no hiring activity occurred in the selected timeframe, the response will be empty. For long-term workforce insights, use the Workforce Trends Enrichment API.

​
Use cases:

  • Workforce Trends: Identify industries and companies with growing hiring activity.
  • Competitive Intelligence: Track hiring patterns of competitors.
  • Economic Indicators: Understand job market health in specific sectors.
  • Talent Acquisition: Optimize recruitment strategies by targeting high-growth industries.
