Skills that set them apart

Location Quotient: the share of this company's postings that ask for a skill, divided by the same share across its industry peers. Above 1.0 means this company asks for the skill more often than its peers do. The peer figure leaves this company out, so a dominant employer doesn't flatten to 1.0. Skills seen fewer than 3 times here are left out.

How this is computed

Company data last refreshed: 2026-03-20.

Company-data sources: wikidata, fmp, news

Hiring figures come from live listings on the employer's careers site and may be up to a day old. AI-exposure scores match each role's occupation (O*NET 30.2) against the Anthropic Economic Index (24 March 2026 release).

Caveats: salaries use 2024 exchange rates; unusual locations can't always be placed in a region; the Location Quotient leaves out companies with fewer than 5 listed roles to keep ratios stable; salary disclosure under 20% triggers the low-disclosure note.
