Method

Every Greenhouse, Ashby and Lever job board found in Common Crawl (8,656 boards) is read through its public job-board API on the snapshot date.
Roles with at least one UK location are kept; aggregator and recruiter boards are removed.
Each role gets a function, seniority and location from its title and location text, using fixed keyword rules (the same rules every edition, so editions compare like for like).
"First posted" is the publish date the ATS reports. Greenhouse can report an update date for some roles, so weekly counts are approximate.

Limits. This counts advertised roles, not hires; one listing can cover several hires or none. Companies on other ATSes are missing. Keyword rules misclassify some titles. Board coverage depends on Common Crawl, so a company can be missing even if it uses one of these systems.

Frequently asked questions

Where does the data come from?

From the public job-board feeds of the companies' own career sites on Greenhouse, Ashby and Lever: 8,656 boards found in Common Crawl, of which 6,608 had open jobs on 8 November 2026. It is the same public data our ATS Jobs API reads. No job sites, recruiters or LinkedIn are used, and no personal data is collected.

Why only Greenhouse, Ashby and Lever?

They publish complete, machine-readable job feeds and are the most common applicant tracking systems at venture-backed and tech companies. Companies on Workday, SuccessFactors or their own systems (most large corporates and the public sector) are not counted, so read this as tech and scale-up hiring, not the whole UK labour market.

How is a role counted as UK?

A role counts when any of its listed locations is in the UK: a UK country, city or "UK"/"United Kingdom". Cities that share names with US or Canadian ones (Cambridge MA, London Ontario, Birmingham AL) are excluded. A role listed in several countries including the UK counts once.

How are functions and AI roles assigned?

From the job title, with published keyword rules (for example "account executive" is Sales, "data engineer" is Data & AI). "AI or ML in the title" means the title contains AI, ML, machine learning, LLM, generative, computer vision, NLP or similar; it is a conservative count of AI-specific roles, not every role at an AI company.

What was left out?

Boards that are job aggregators, recruiters or event networks rather than one employer (3,727 UK listings on 11 boards this edition), and listings marked unlisted. Also removed: listings that are not jobs at the company, such as paid research-participant recruitment and freelance “AI trainer” or data-annotation gigs (268 UK listings this edition, 66 companies). Those gigs are a story of their own, so we count them separately.

Can I use the data?

Yes. The charts and CSV files are published under CC BY 4.0: reuse them freely, including commercially, with a credit and link to "Tidewell UK Tech Hiring Index" (https://tidewellsoftware.com/data/uk-tech-hiring-index/). For questions or a custom cut (a sector, a city, a role family), email [email protected].

How often is it updated?

Each edition is a fresh snapshot of every board. Dated CSV files stay online at their URLs, so a citation of an edition keeps working.
