How we measure this industryResearch combines public job postings and talent profiles. Sources are evaluated independently.
Activity window · 2025-09-26 to 2026-09-26 · refreshed hourly. Public and platform job postings and aggregated talent profiles are evaluated as separate sources. Talent aggregates include public and non-public profiles; individual profile cards only show public profiles. Rate benchmarks always use jobs published and profiles active in the last 90 days.
Industry and company size come from accepted company tags linked to matched Crustdata identities. 1,177 of 2,076 period job records have a qualifying industry classification. Unclassified records remain unknown. Industry and role groups overlap; their totals must not be added together.
Demand counts require at least 10 jobs across 5 companies. Talent counts require 10 distinct professionals active in the selected activity window. Roles are ranked separately by jobs and professionals with industry experience. Hire links can also appear with 3 relevant public profiles and authored hiring guidance. Each rate source requires at least 10 observed samples; employer-side prices also require 5 companies and no employer contributing more than 40% of samples. Percentile ranges require 20 samples. Estimated job prices are excluded. Averages are a weighted blend of our live benchmarks and are only published when an employer offer or talent asking rate independently qualifies.
Company-size comparisons use current tags for activity in the period, not historical size or funding stage. Profile rates describe professionals with industry experience, not rates charged to specific past employers. These platform observations are not a census of the fractional market.
