iHire Expands Analytics Suite With New Candidate & Hiring Market Insights

Analytics tools combine job seeker sentiment and labor market data to help employers make smarter, more informed recruiting decisions

FREDERICK, Md., Aug. 27, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- iHire has expanded its suite of recruitment analytics and insights tools, giving employers and recruiters easy access to actionable, real-time data on candidate availability, hiring demand, and job seeker sentiment. With its Hiring Market Insights and Candidate Insights dashboards, iHire's analytics tools empower organizations to make smarter, more informed hiring decisions as they connect with industry-focused talent.

Hiring Market Insights

iHire's Hiring Market Insights feature helps employers understand the supply and demand of candidates in their target markets by pulling information from iHire's active candidate and job databases into a digestible view. Employers can analyze specific skills and job titles and filter results at the metro, state, or nationwide level.

The dashboard provides three metrics:

• Candidate Supply Percentage: The percentage of active candidates in a selected market who include a particular skill or job title in their iHire profile.
• Job Demand Percentage: The percentage of active jobs in the selected market that mention the job title or required skill.
• Hiring Opportunity: These metrics compare candidate availability to job demand within your selected market, based on iHire's data. Higher values suggest more available talent relative to demand.

In addition, the Hiring Market Insights feature advises users on how to put their data into action – based on the patterns they uncover, hiring teams can identify opportunities to adjust their job postings, targeting, and recruiting strategies.

Candidate Insights

iHire's Candidate Insights tool gives employers an inside look at the priorities, preferences, and perspectives of today's job seekers. The data is shared from iHire's on-site surveys that poll actual candidates on topics such as job search challenges, employment dealbreakers, AI, talent pipelining, and more.

Interactive visualizations allow employers to review candidate responses and, when sufficient data is available, analyze industry-specific metrics from their preferred iHire talent community. Employers can also compare industry-level results with benchmark data from candidates across iHire's network. With these metrics, hiring managers and recruiters can improve their job postings and better align their messaging with candidate expectations. For example, if candidates said a job posting that mentions flexible schedules influences their decision to apply, employers who offer that benefit can be sure it's included in their ad.

"By bringing candidate perspectives and hiring market trends together, our expanded analytics suite gives employers a clear picture of the talent landscape," said Kyle Gamble, iHire's VP of Product. "With that knowledge, they can make more strategic decisions about how and where they recruit to stay competitive and keep their businesses moving forward."

Registered employers can access both Hiring Market and Candidate Insights by signing in to their iHire account and visiting the "Analytics" tab on their dashboard, while anyone can view iHire's Hiring Market Insights at www.ihire.com/employers/tools/hiringmarketinsights.
