STUDY ANALYSIS
10,000+ postings (target)
Study Preview — Full Data Coming January 2027
This study is currently in data collection. The findings below are from our 200-posting pipeline test. The full study will analyze 10,000+ real job postings from USAJobs and public APIs. Check back in January 2027 for the complete analysis.
Study Preview
We're building the largest open-access analysis of what employers actually screen for versus what they claim to want. Using TF-IDF keyword extraction on 10,000+ real job postings, we'll quantify the gap between job description language and actual hiring criteria across 6 industries.
What We Will Analyze
Top keywords by industry: what terms appear most and discriminate best between industries
Seniority distribution: how requirements escalate from entry to executive level
Skills gap analysis: which skills are most requested vs most commonly missing from resumes
Hidden requirements: qualifications mentioned in descriptions but not in title or "required" sections
Career-level breakdown: how the same role title means different things at different seniority levels
Data Sources
USAJobs API (federal government postings — public domain data), supplemented by Adzuna API and curated public datasets. No scraping. All data collected through legitimate APIs with proper attribution.
