WANTED Technologies Announces Detailed Canadian Hiring Trends by National Occupational Classification
WANTED Technologies now collects and classifies online Canadian job ads
by the four-digit National Occupational Classification code in their Analytics(TM) platform, providing the most detailed employment statistics available
in Canada.
NEW YORK, April 5, 2012 /PRNewswire/ – WANTED Technologies (TSX: VAN),
the leading source of real-time business intelligence for the talent
marketplace, now provides its detailed analysis of online hiring
activity in Canada through their industry-leading Analytics(TM) platform using the National Occupational Classification, a widely-used
standard established by the Canadian government.
“Labour market and economic analysts now have the ability to use a
timely set of data to measure hiring demand in Canada,” said Bruce
Murray, WANTED’s CEO. “We collect online job posting data and now
standardize 80,000 job ads weekly on the widely-used NOC data
framework.”
Because this information is derived from online job postings, it
provides a current view of market activity at both a highly-detailed,
company specific level as well as on a much broader, consolidated
level.
WANTED’s employment market data and analysis is used by clients to
identify companies or sectors of the economy where hiring demand is
increasing or decreasing. This intelligence is then used to help the
unemployed find jobs, develop educational programs to drive skills, and
attract employers.
“By bringing our labour market demand data in line with the government’s
statistical data, we hope to make it easier for analysts to see what is
taking place in the economy,” said Murray. “And the result, we hope,
will be the ability to make better decisions based on timely and
reliable data.”
