How does Beauhurst assign an ‘Actively hiring’ status?
Beauhurst data analysts assign an actively hiring status to all tracked companies. We use publicly available information to ascertain whether the company is currently hiring. The following criteria must be met in order for a company to be considered to be actively hiring:
- The company itself must have open job roles – listings of open job roles at external companies are not sufficient (e.g. recruitment companies hiring into client companies but not into themselves would not be actively hiring)
- A job listing must have a job title and/or job description
- Companies that only have a job page that contains a generic message such as “we’re always looking for new talent – get in touch” are not considered to be actively hiring.
An unknown status is set when:
- We have been unable to find a source that confirms if they are hiring or not (e.g. no known company careers page)
- A company is no longer tracked.
The status is reviewed and updated in line with our data quality processes.
How does Beauhurst assign a job function to key people at companies?
Whenever a person’s job title is added to the platform we run it through an algorithm that classifies it with one or more functions. Not all job titles will be given a function, for example if they’re unique or ambiguous.
