Where the Hiring Is: Top Cities & Regions by Net-New Roles (Last 30 Days)

Hiring hotspots vs cooling markets—ranked by net-new postings and normalized by company presence.

What to do this month (remote/hybrid/relocation)

If you're open to relocation or hybrid, prioritize San Carlos, California (United States), Manila, Manila (Philippines (hybrid)), Bangalore, Bangalore (India), Noida, Uttar Pradesh (India), and Hybrid - San Francisco, California (United States) first.

For remote searches, set country-specific alerts for United States, United Kingdom, and Canada.

When applying in the hottest metros, submit within 24-48 hours because net-new volume is moving quickly.

Keep one alert for your primary target metro and one backup alert for a rising adjacent market.

Re-check this ranking weekly and move effort away from cooling markets.

Key takeaways

  • Total net-new postings (last 30 days): 318,256 vs 118,324 in the prior window (+199,932).
  • Top country by net-new postings: United States (+876 vs prior 30 days).
  • Top normalized metro: San Carlos, California (United States) at 590,000.0 postings per 10k active companies.
  • Top metro by absolute postings: Chicago, Illinois (United States) (62 postings).
  • Biggest riser: San Carlos, California (United States) (+56 vs prior 30 days).
  • Largest cooling market: London, London (hybrid) (-14 vs prior 30 days).

Data coverage

Parsed country coverage: 82.84% (263,634 of 318,256 postings).

Parsed city coverage: 74.47% (237,009 of 318,256 postings).

Unknown/unparsed values are excluded from Top N rankings and tracked separately here.

Hiring demand is not moving evenly across markets. Some metros are accelerating on both volume and density, while others are cooling after a stronger prior month.

Where the hiring is shifting

What we measured

Net-new postings: postings in the last 30 days minus postings in the prior 30-day window.

Job density (normalized rate): postings_last30 / active_companies_180d * 10,000. This controls for company presence in each metro rather than total population size.

If you're open to relocation/hybrid, focus on these 5 areas

  1. San Carlos, California (United States): 59 postings in the last 30 days, +56 vs prior window, and 590,000.0 postings per 10k active companies.
  2. Manila, Manila (Philippines (hybrid)): 37 postings in the last 30 days, +32 vs prior window, and 370,000.0 postings per 10k active companies.
  3. Bangalore, Bangalore (India): 43 postings in the last 30 days, +34 vs prior window, and 215,000.0 postings per 10k active companies.
  4. Noida, Uttar Pradesh (India): 27 postings in the last 30 days, +25 vs prior window, and 135,000.0 postings per 10k active companies.
  5. Hybrid - San Francisco, California (United States): 60 postings in the last 30 days, +47 vs prior window, and 120,000.0 postings per 10k active companies.

Practical tips:

  • Create one alert per focus area with titles + local location terms (city, state, metro aliases).
  • Run a second broader alert for remote/hybrid to avoid missing adjacent opportunities.
  • Prioritize companies that posted repeatedly in the same area over the last month.
  • Rebalance your area list weekly using the risers/cooling table, not static assumptions.

Methodology and limitations

Methodology

Current window: 2026-04-11 to 2026-05-11 (UTC).

Prior window: 2026-03-12 to 2026-04-11 (UTC).

Net-new definition: Net-new postings by area = unique job postings in the current window minus unique job postings in the prior equal-length window.

Date fallback: 293,074 jobs (92.09%) used scannedAt fallback when postedAt was missing.

Coverage: parsed country 82.84%; parsed city 74.47%.

Normalization: Normalized postings per 10k = postings_last30 / distinct companies active in that area over the last 180 days * 10,000.

Geography logic: Country, region, and city are normalized before ranking. Country charts use country labels only; metro charts use City + Region + Country labels; region charts are U.S. states only to avoid mixed geography levels.

Remote handling: Metro and region rankings include only onsite/hybrid rows with concrete geography. Remote roles are reported separately by country.

Ranking thresholds: metros require at least 50 postings in the last 30 days; risers/cooling require at least 25 postings in either window.

Limitations
  • Location strings in ATS feeds are inconsistent, so some records remain unknown/unparsed.
  • Metro normalization controls for active-company presence in our dataset, not local labor force size.
  • Remote roles are split out because many rows use broad location labels (for example, Remote - United States).
  • This is a rolling 30-day snapshot and should be treated as directional, not permanent.
  • Unknown/unparsed non-remote rows this cycle: 272,759 (85.70%).

Daily Hiring Trends (Last 30 Days): New Jobs by Geography & Industry

#

An analysis of newly posted roles captured daily across ATS platforms — broken down by geography and industry.

Feb 25, 2026 · 1 min read · ATSRadar
#hiring-trends #geography #industry #ats-data

We analyzed newly posted roles from the last 30 days captured across ATSRadar's tracked ATS providers.

This report is designed to answer three practical questions:

  1. Where are new roles being posted most frequently?
  2. Which regions and cities are seeing the strongest posting activity?
  3. Which industries are driving the largest share of new postings?

Methodology

  • Window: last 30 days from report generation time.
  • New jobs definition: postedAt when available; otherwise fallback to first seen scan time (scannedAt).
  • Time zone: UTC daily buckets.
  • Location parsing: rule-based parser from location strings with remote/hybrid/onsite detection and country/region/city extraction.
  • Industry classification: tiered approach:
    • use provided company industry when available,
    • use mapped category when available,
    • otherwise infer from company/title/description keyword taxonomy.

Results

Total new jobs analyzed: 318256 over the last 30 days (UTC).

The highest-volume day in the window was 2026-05-08 with 74439 newly posted jobs.

By geography, United States led total new postings with 156394 jobs.

By industry, Software/SaaS represented the largest share of new postings at 79700 jobs.

All charts use UTC daily buckets. See methodology for location and industry parsing rules.

Limitations

  • Job locations are not standardized across ATS sources; some geographies are grouped into Unknown.
  • Industry mapping is heuristic when no structured company taxonomy is provided.
  • Remote postings can include broad geo qualifiers (for example, Remote - US) and may not map cleanly to a single city.

Why this matters

Daily posting velocity and geography concentration can help you prioritize alerts, tune location filters, and identify where hiring momentum is accelerating.

If you want these trends delivered with role-level precision, create targeted ATSRadar alerts and monitor changes as new jobs hit each ATS board.
