Methodology

  • Trends come from job postings on startup.jobs, sourced from startups' career pages and jobs posted directly by employers. Employers our vetting rejected or couldn't confirm as startups are left out.
  • We keep adding startups, so posting counts grow even when hiring doesn't. Every trend is therefore a share of all startup postings in the same period, which stays comparable as coverage grows.
  • Broad catch-all titles such as Manager or Specialist are left out of role rankings.
  • Quarterly shares start in 2017 and cover complete quarters. Changes compare the last 12 full months with the 12 before.
