What the Chicago numbers show

Is Chicago hiring concentrated?

The five largest employers hold 22% of all live Chicago openings, and the median ranked employer has 14 open Chicago roles. Chicago is less top-heavy than the typical tracked city, where the top five hold 45.3%: hiring is spread across many mid-sized boards rather than concentrated in a few.

Which industries are hiring in Chicago?

The industries hiring hardest in Chicago are Financial Services & Investment (400 roles, 21.8%), Professional & IT Services (271 roles, 14.7%), Fintech & Payments (198 roles, 10.8%).

What level are Chicago jobs?

54.5% of live Chicago titles read as senior, managerial, director or executive level, and the single largest named band is Manager with 488 roles. Levels are derived from job titles, so a title that states no level counts as unspecified rather than being guessed at.

Is Chicago hiring speeding up?

582 of the 1,838 live Chicago roles first appeared in the last 30 days — 31.7% of the market turned over inside a month.

Is hiring in Chicago growing or shrinking?

Hiring in Chicago held flat (−0.3%) over the last seven days: 174 roles were added and 179 were removed across the 97 employers ranked on this page, a net −5 against 1,842 open Chicago roles a week ago. 16 of those employers posted a Chicago role this week after posting none the week before. Guidepost Montessori added the most, 13 new Chicago openings in seven days. 44 Chicago roles appeared in the last 24 hours alone. Additions and removals are counted from the postings themselves — a role leaves the count when the employer takes it off their own board, not when it is filled.

How this ranking works

A company appears here once it has at least 8 live openings in Chicago. Order is set by the number of those Chicago openings alone — nothing else moves a company up or down. Companies whose most recent posting anywhere is older than 90 days are excluded, so a dormant board cannot hold a position. The Remote Index shown beside each name describes how that employer hires across its whole organisation, not how its Chicago roles are structured, so a high band does not mean the Chicago jobs themselves are remote. See the remote ranking.
