Benchmarks & Analysis
Denver Project & Delivery -- Employer Benchmarks
With 57% of tracked delivery roles fully remote and only 4% onsite, employers requiring in-office presence may face a smaller candidate pool. Consider flexible arrangements to remain competitive for p...
Competitive Hiring Benchmarks: Is Your Job Spec Aligned with the Market?
If your data engineer posting lists 20 required skills, the market median is 11. If you're offering onsite-only for an ML role, 74% of competing postings offer remote or hybrid.
Fill Rate Intelligence: How Long Does It Actually Take to Hire?
The median time to fill is 33 days across all roles. Project managers fill fastest at 30 days. ML engineers take longest at 36. These benchmarks exist, but most hiring managers operate without them.
Hidden Job Families: The Roles Nobody Talks About
Project and programme managers together account for 4,229 postings -- 37% of all tracked roles. Analytics engineering, growth PM, and platform PM are substantial markets with distinct profiles that rarely feature in career advice.
Monthly Market Pulse: January-February 2026
Delivery management is surging while data and product roles cool. Project manager postings nearly doubled (+95%), while technical PM dropped 65% and data engineering fell 47%.
The Seniority Skills Ladder: How Skill Requirements Change as You Level Up
Leveling up is defined as much by what drops off your requirements as by what gets added. SQL drops 9 points from junior to senior. AI climbs 5 points. Seniority is a move from tools to judgment.
Skills Inflation Tracker: Are Employers Asking for More Than They Used To?
The skills inflation narrative is overstated. Average skills per posting held steady at 9.4-9.6 across all roles. AI skill demands have stabilised at roughly a third of all postings.
Talent Pool Sizing: Where the Demand Is and Who's Driving It
Google alone accounts for 9.4% of all programme manager postings. The data engineer market is so fragmented that no employer holds more than 2.1%. These concentration patterns shape hiring strategy.
