Trends

A fresh snapshot is collected every Monday and kept. 20 so far, from 17 June 2026 to 12 October 2026.

The organization list has grown over time, so totals across all snapshots are not comparable. These charts follow a fixed panel instead: the 8 organizations read from a hiring feed in every snapshot (Apollo Research, BlueDot Impact, Center for AI Safety, Eleos AI, Epoch AI, Goodfire, METR, UK AI Security Institute).

Vacancies at the panel organizations

Concrete vacancies, standing applications excluded.

Posted vacancies at these organizations went from 59 to 72 over the period, a change of +22%. That is a count of openings on the boards, not of hires.

Title seniority over time

Share of the panel's vacancies whose title carries a senior or an entry marker.

Senior-titled roles went from 31% to 40% of the panel's vacancies, and entry-titled roles from 2% to 3%. Title markers understate how many roles are open to early-career applicants (see the findings), but because they are measured the same way every week, the direction is meaningful: the boards have tilted toward senior hiring.

Why titles only, here. The headline measure reads the whole posting, but the early snapshots cannot support it. Until 30 September 2026 the collector stored only the opening paragraph of postings from Lever boards (METR, Epoch AI, Apollo Research), so their requirements are missing from the archive. Title markers are unaffected, so they are the one measure that means the same thing in every snapshot. All snapshots are re-scored with the current rules each time the site is built.

Organizations once read by hand are left out. Until 30 September 2026 four organizations without a hiring feed were captured by hand, and their rows were carried forward unchanged between captures. They are no longer tracked, and the panel never included them.
