What the number countsThe problem: big numbers that nobody explains

Big numbers deserve a plain explanation.

Every figure on this page was counted on 11 November 2026 and counts job adverts. Here is exactly what each one means.

The local market, on the page before your call. Ask Mira to research a company and the report includes what the job adverts near that company's sites say. The data sets the scene. You have the conversation.

How research uses it

The problem: walking in without knowing the local rate

Going rates near their sites

A research report shows the going rate and the usual pay range for common roles near the company's sites. It is worked out from the last 90 days of job adverts, by role family, and labelled TalentCore Intelligence so the reader knows where it came from.

Who else is advertising there

The same section shows which recruitment agencies advertise most for those roles around the company's sites. You walk in knowing who you are up against in that area, before anyone tells you.

How research uses it

Their own adverts, only when it is certain

When a company's website matches, the report lists its own recent job adverts, each with a link to the employer's advert. If the match is not certain, nothing is shown. A wrong advert in front of a prospect is worse than none.

How research uses it

Fresh, or not shown at all

Research is fed by a nightly, read-only copy of the job advert data. If that copy is more than three days old, the market section says it is not available today. Old numbers are never passed off as current ones.

Refreshed every night.
Held back if it is more than 3 days old.

Not available today. The job advert data is more than 3 days old, so this section is left out of the report.

Next: the market, by sector, region and pay.

Today the data reaches you inside a research report. The next step is a view of the market itself: which sectors are advertising, where, and at what hourly rate. It will tell you where demand is. Deciding which of it to chase will still be your job.

Straight answers

What it is, and what it is not.

5 questions

"Is that a million live jobs?": No. It is the number of job adverts read since 18 October 2026. More than 690,000 were live on 11 November 2026.
"Are they unique vacancies?": No. The same vacancy on two sites is two adverts. That is why this page says job adverts everywhere a number appears.
"Can I search all of it?": Not as a free search. Today the data reaches you through company research: going rates, who is advertising nearby, and a prospect's own adverts. A view by sector, region and pay is in development.
"Will you name the employers?": Not here. This page publishes totals only. Inside a research report you see a prospect's own adverts, and only when the match is certain.
"Does the AI make the numbers up?": No. The facts are gathered first and the writing comes second. Anything without a checkable source is labelled Unverified. How Mira works.

Why it matters

The data reads the market. You read the room.

For recruiters and for leaders

For recruiters

Quote the local market on the call.

The going rate near their sites is in the report before you dial.

TalentCore for recruiters

For business leaders

Rates and positioning from the market, not guesswork.

Rate conversations start from what local adverts actually offer.
Every figure is labelled with where it came from.
Stale data is held back, so nobody quotes last month as today.
