Aspen Technology Labs (ATL) collects, manages, and analyzes job data across 193 countries, continually expanding its robust JobsIndex database. The dedicated research team at ATL consistently identifies new employers to include, ensuring that the data remains as comprehensive as possible.

‍

ATL’s data collection strategy is distinctive: information is sourced directly from company career sites and Applicant Tracking Systems (ATS), capturing data straight from the platforms where candidates apply. Job boards or aggregators are not scraped, which allows ATL to provide real-time, highly accurate data and deep insights into labor market demand.

‍

The jobs database is updated daily, providing clients with access to the most current and relevant labor market data available. This enables ATL to detect signals from companies regarding their growth or decline and even anticipate potential trends.

‍

ATL’s jobs data is highly representative because it doesn’t just focus on large corporations or public companies; a diverse mix of big and small employers is included. This diversity enables clients to create accurate forecasts using ATL’s labor market intelligence tool, JobMarketPulse.

‍

For the most reliable trend analysis, ATL includes only those companies that have been consistently tracked over the entire year. This approach guarantees the highest level of accuracy in its insights. To illustrate continuous growth, ATL has added over 50,000 new employers to its database since January 2024 alone.

‍

While every single job listing may not be captured, ATL’s extensive database, currently covering approximately 70% of U.S. job openings, provides a clear and representative view of the overall job market. This allows clients to monitor key trends, such as which companies are hiring, where they are hiring, and what this implies about their future strategies, whether investing in sales, expanding into new markets, or focusing on product development.
