Hiring by Department

Description

A Hiring by Department event tracks when a company is actively recruiting for roles within specific departments. 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.
