I been building a view into companies based on their job postings. I am hoping it is useful to get a quick snapshot on the company say for interview prep etc. Please be advised that it is still a WIP in terms of data quality.

Broad trends would be nice to see. Avg length of time applications are public and positions open over time (I'd love to see indicators of supply/demand).

Right now layoffs seem common but there's also a lot of hiring in the AI space and there's problematic changes to VISAs etc that affect the jobs market in various ways. Really curious if there's a way to show long term trends in this.

I have been thinking about it - the data I have today is pretty fluid but a fixed representative subset could shed light.

I suppose you could do this by tracking when an application form goes live and when it goes 404
