Disproportionate Skills
What this company is over-indexed on vs industry peers
Location Quotient = (this company's % of postings with skill X) ÷ (peer industry's % of the same skill). Values above 1.0 mean over-indexed. Peer baseline excludes this company itself, so a dominant employer doesn't collapse to ~1.0. Skills with fewer than 3 occurrences here are excluded.

Not enough peer-company data in this industry yet to compute a Location Quotient.

Salary Positioning
Pay vs the industry baseline (USD midpoint)
Midpoint of salary_min/salary_max converted to USD via simple 2024-snapshot FX. Values outside $10k–$1M filtered as parser noise.
$110K $120K $130K $140K All regions Company: $125,000 (n=105) United States Company: $135,000 (n=78) Unknown Company: $122,500 (n=26)

Market Position
Direct hiring competitors
Peers are companies in the same industry, ranked by how much their job categories overlap with this one (Jaccard score on the top 5 normalised categories). Each peer's hiring momentum is shown from the same 14-day windows.

No peers yet — peer matching needs more companies tagged in this industry. The list will fill out as YubHub's coverage grows.

Methodology & Sources
How this is computed

Last enriched: unknown.

Hiring aggregates run live against D1; cached at the edge for up to 24 hours. AI-exposure scores derive from O*NET 30.2 occupation taxonomy crossed with the Anthropic Economic Index 2026-03-24 release.

Caveats: salary parser uses 2024 FX snapshot rates; long-tail location strings may bucket as "Unknown"; Location Quotient excludes companies with fewer than 5 indexed roles to keep ratios stable. Salary disclosure under 20% triggers a warning on the salary chart.
