Talent Market Index Release - October

Register now for our upcoming Talent Market Index coming up on October 15, 2026 from 1-2 ET.

While reports like the BLS Jobs Report—in the months we actually get one—along with ADP and JOLTS, track openings, hires, and quits, they don’t answer one key question: What does it actually cost to attract talent right now?

That’s where the Talent Market Index comes in. It measures what employers are spending on paid job ads across nine key segments, giving us a real-time view of hiring demand and cost pressure.

When you layer that on top of traditional data, you get a much fuller picture—not just who’s hiring, but how hard and how expensive it is to compete for talent.
