# Talent Market Research

Research the talent market by scraping job data, benchmarking salaries, analyzing company hiring signals, and comparing labor markets.

This workflow helps HR leaders, recruiters, and workforce planners understand the talent landscape for specific roles or industries. It starts by scraping live job postings to capture current demand signals, required skills, and advertised salary ranges.

Web search adds salary benchmarks and labor market reports, while company social profiles reveal hiring activity and team growth patterns. Country-level data provides macro context for international hiring decisions or offshoring analysis. The combined output supports data-driven hiring strategy, compensation planning, and workforce allocation.
