Hiring index / Analysis / Benefit prevalence by role

How common is each benefit, really?

“Remote-first.” “Visa sponsorship.” “Four-day week.” Job seekers search for these as if they’re everywhere, but how often do companies actually put them in the job description? We measured it, by role, across the postings we track.

A benefit only counts here if the company wrote it into the job description itself, not a guess, not a Glassdoor rumor. That makes these numbers conservative: plenty of companies offer remote work or sponsor visas without spelling it out in every posting. But it also makes them honest: this is the floor, the share of roles where the company committed it to writing.

Why we publish this

The mega job sites can’t filter by a benefit that only exists in the JD text, so they don’t. We can, because we read the company’s own words. See our methodology for exactly how this is built and refreshed.
