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

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.

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.

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.
