How the numbers are made
- Counts come from the public job boards of AI companies (Greenhouse, Ashby and Lever), read once a day.
- A posting is open from the day we first see it until a full read of its board no longer lists it.
- Each posting is classified by a language model into a fixed set of role families, seniority levels, work modes and AI focus, and the tools and skills it asks for are listed; shares are of classified open postings.
- New means published in the last 30 days (or first seen after our first collection day when the board gives no date); everything open on our first day is the baseline, not new hiring.
- Salary bands use the midpoint of ranges the postings state themselves, only where at least 10 postings of one family state a range in one currency.
- Roles, never people: no recruiter, hiring manager or applicant is collected.
