Learn about your target market using analytics

Through our detailed reports, you'll gain a better understanding of the type of employee you're targeting. It shows you the job titles people in your industry are searching for, along with other details that demonstrate what candidates want in a job and the types of candidates searching for work right now. Supply & Demand is an essential tool that provides the following features to help you target the right market:

Keyword search: Our keyword search lets you look for details using a search tool to filter by keyword, job title, or skill on a city, metro area, state, or national level.
Compensation data: You'll get to learn details about what other companies are paying their employees for the position your company wants to fill.
Heat maps: Use our heat map to see where jobs are being posted compared to where job seekers are located.
Top job posters: Find out which companies are also hiring for the same position and which ones are posting the most jobs.
Demographic data: When you know the demographics of your candidates, you can create a better job description that aligns with their experience and qualifications.

Let's consider an example of how this can benefit your company. Your Supply & Demand Report might show you that registered nurse (RN) is a job title many people are searching for, while a home care nurse isn't as popular. This detail demonstrates that if you're interested in hiring for an RN position, attracting candidates might be easier than if you're hiring for a home care nursing job. You'll need your HR department to provide a more enticing offer to home care nurses since the hiring pool for this role is smaller.

In addition to job titles, Supply & Demand Reports show you where top talent is searching for jobs as well as where these candidates currently live. You'll learn about the average education level for those searching for jobs in the industry and where they're going to school.
