How to read this chart · view counts

Each side is an independent set of observed employer moves, not the same people followed through three stages. Ribbon widths compare move counts within that side. Internal moves are not included.

Same role means a change of employer while keeping the same role. Counts are moves, not distinct people, promotions, or your chances of making a particular move.

How this was computed

Counts derive from the Skillenai jobs index over the 90 days ending 2026-10-14, matching postings whose canonical role is “Consultant”. Pages refresh weekly (or daily for the top-50 most-posted roles). Adjusted posting share: 0.1% to 0.1%. Demand share change is the relative percentage change between these adjusted shares. Each employer-and-ATS group has at least 10 postings in each 90-day window; its earlier posting count supplies the same weight in both windows. The panel includes 2,614 identified employers and covers 71% of earlier and 72% of latest indexed postings. Windows: 2026-06-16 to 2026-09-14 and 2026-07-14 to 2026-10-12 (UTC; end dates excluded). The windows overlap by 62 days. Dates reflect indexing, not the employer’s posting date. This measures posting mix, not total hiring or market-wide demand. Matching excludes entrants and exits; changes in crawl completeness within an employer or ATS can still affect the result.
