Seeker Research
Evidence-based career insights from analyzing real job market data. No clickbait, no speculation — just what the data shows.
Our own published figure said 61% of job postings want senior or above. It was measuring job title vocabulary. Here is how we caught it, and the number that replaces it.
Read moreJob sites tag postings with skills. We checked 883,827 of our own tags against the text they supposedly came from. 25.7% are not there, and the failures are wildly uneven.
Read moreA country-by-country job map, a month-over-month market trend, and a remote-work rate. All three were computed, all three looked publishable, and none of them survived a control.
Read moreWe published that Apple discloses salary on 1 of 4,948 job postings. Someone who had actually looked at Apple's careers page said that could not be true. Here is what we found when we checked, and why our own control had failed.
Read more9.5% of live job postings carry under 500 characters. We blamed job boards for that and were wrong twice: the shortest source in our corpus is an employer's own careers portal, and the gap was our own pipeline. What survives a lossy copy, and what does not.
Read moreWe analyzed 3,804 product-manager and 2,177 project-manager postings. The two roles barely overlap — and the certifications give it away.
Read moreWe analyzed 1,835 postings that call themselves entry-level or junior. 70% of those that state a requirement still demand 2+ years — and engineering is the worst offender.
Read moreNot GitHub stars — real job postings. Python leads by a wide margin and SQL is second across 231,147 active listings.
Read moreSoftware hiring gets the headlines, but it's a minority of the market. Here's the real domain breakdown from 231,147 active job postings.
Read moreIndeed is the biggest job board — and that's exactly its limitation. Here's how skills-based matching differs from keyword search, and when an alternative helps.
Read moreMass-applying feels productive, but volume is why most job searches stall. Here's the math on spray-and-pray — and the higher-signal approach that actually lands interviews.
Read moreGetting rejected from roles you're clearly qualified for is usually not about you — it's about the match. Here's what's actually happening between you and the recruiter.
Read moreOriginal data from 199,361 active job listings analyzed in July 2026 — which fields are hiring, the skills employers ask for most, and what it means for your search.
Read moreSkills-based hiring is replacing title-matching. Here's how to find jobs that fit what you can actually do — not just the job titles you've held.
Read moreJournalism skills translate almost directly to content marketing — often at a higher salary. Here's what transfers, what to learn, and how to reframe your resume.
Read moreAn ATS scorecard is how applicant tracking systems rank your resume against a job before a human ever sees it. Here's what it measures and how to score higher.
Read moreA bridge role connects where you are to where you want to be — a job you can get now that gets you closer to the career you actually want. Here's how to find yours.
Read moreMost résumé parsers give you one confident answer and hide the doubt behind it. We took the opposite approach — and the hardest engineering wasn't producing the answer, it was proving the new answer matched the old one before we trusted it.
Read moreYour résumé looks perfect on screen. The software reading it often sees something very different. Here are the five ways a clean-looking PDF turns into garbage text — and how to check yours in ten seconds.
Read moreAfter analyzing thousands of resumes, one pattern stands out above all others: people describe what they did, not what they achieved. The difference is worth more interviews than any formatting trick.
Read moreEveryone wants to be a PM. We looked at thousands of career profiles to understand which backgrounds actually transition successfully — and which skills bridge the gap.
Read moreSome skills appear everywhere in job postings but rarely determine who gets hired. We looked at what employers ask for versus what actually differentiates candidates.
Read moreWe analyzed thousands of career transitions and found that automated systems routinely flatten complex, multidimensional careers into simple labels — hiding opportunities from the people who need them most.
Read moreMost career tools ask if your resume matches a job. We ask a different question: what careers does your experience naturally connect to?
Read moreWhy two “Systems Engineers” can have completely different jobs — and why keyword matching breaks because of it.
Read moreWe expected programming languages and cloud platforms to dominate. They didn’t. The single most frequently requested skill across 5,000 recent technical job postings was communication.
