Where is demand today?
Historical data
What changed, how quickly, and was it sustained?
**Illustrative data-engineer demand trajectory**
Same current position. Different path. Company A Company B **Company A**Demand built consistently over several years. **Company B**Demand declined before returning to the same current level. ## Use historical job posting data when the question is about change, not just current state.
The dataset is most useful when the analysis depends on movement across time: role evolution, skill diffusion, company capability building, geographic shifts or before-and-after comparisons. 01 ### Workforce & skills evolution

JobsPikr provides historical job-posting observations with structured dimensions that can be scoped to a research or business requirement. Methodological note: job postings represent advertised labour demand. They are an observable hiring-market signal, not completed hires, employment counts or exact company headcount. ### What's included in JobsPikr's historical job posting data.

Have a question? ## Frequently asked questions about JobsPikr's historical job posting data
##### How far back does JobsPikr's historical job posting data go?
JobsPikr has been collecting job posting observations continuously since 2019, so coverage runs from 2019 through today rather than being reconstructed after the fact.
##### What fields are included in the historical archive?
Structured fields typically include job title, company, seniority level, company type, location, job description, inferred skills, salary where available, and posting date. Which fields apply to your request depends on the analysis goal you select in the scope builder above.
##### Is job posting data the same as completed hires or company headcount?
No. Job postings represent advertised labor demand and should be interpreted as an observable market signal, not completed hiring, employment counts, or exact company headcount.
##### Can I scope the data to a specific date range, geography, or role instead of the full archive?
Yes. Most requests do not need every posting since 2019. Use the scope builder above to define the period, geography, and role or skill focus your question actually requires, and JobsPikr will confirm what is available for that scope.
##### Who typically uses the historical archive?
Academic researchers, consulting and advisory teams, enterprise and corporate strategy functions, HR and talent intelligence teams, investment and financial research teams, and data, AI, and market research teams all use it for longitudinal analysis rather than a single current-period snapshot.
