Anticipating Economic Impact at the Company Level

LinkUp’s job listing data, collected daily and directly from company websites since 2007, can provide unprecedented insight into market trends at the industry, geographic, or company level. Because a listing indicates intent to hire, tracking job listings at the company level can offer a level of granular discernment into how the economic impact of a particular event may be distributed across industries or companies.

When the COVID-19 pandemic began in 2020, for example, many retailers struggled to adapt to reduced foot traffic. To estimate the impact of such a widespread event, analysts can measure revenue reporting estimates or inventory fluctuations alongside LinkUp’s real-time job listing data at the company level to anticipate growth or decline in company performance.
