A market in motion, not on pause
Ashney is tracking 398,709 open roles across 46,659 companies, counted by reading each employer's own career page rather than a job board. In the last seven days those companies opened 59,208 new roles. That is not a hiring freeze. It is a market that moves too fast to watch by hand.
Speed is the story underneath the volume. The median role closes 26 days after it appears, so by the time a listing reaches the large boards, much of its window is already gone.
Engineering sets the floor
Across the senior-tech functions Ashney classifies, Sales alone is 17% of open roles. Finance, Engineering and Marketing form a clear second tier; everything below is a specialist market in the low thousands.
Operations roles are the freshest, 57% posted in the last 30 days. People, Legal, Project Management, Security, Solutions Engineering, Product, Customer Success, QA, Delivery, Recruiting, Engineering Management, Design, TPM, PMM, Product Ops and DevRel add 119,453 more.

One country, then everyone else
United States holds 161,462 open roles, 40% of everything tracked, more than Europe, India, United Kingdom, Rest of Asia-Pacific, Canada, Rest of Latin America added together. But raw size hides the tempo: Brazil posted 3,053 roles this month against 4,794 open, a churn near 64%, the fastest of any large market.
Australia, Singapore, Mexico, Brazil, Japan, Remote, Ireland, UAE, South Korea and Israel add 35,787 roles; another 41,959 carry unspecified locations.
Ashney reads companies' own applicant-tracking systems directly, hourly, not job boards. A role counts as open until it disappears from the source, and posted uses the employer's own date. Counts exclude duplicate reposts and staffing-agency listings. The technology and industries come from the Ashney Intelligence Engine, which reads each posting in full and notes every skill it asks for; Ask Rate is the share of the roles read that ask for a skill, a role posted for many cities counting once. A role's own core practices, everyday office and work-tracking tools, soft skills and spoken languages are left out. Region reflects the location stated on the listing; roles with no normalized country are held out of the regional shares above.
Figures are a snapshot at publication. This report refreshes weekly; the Ashney app scores new roles for members hourly. Week-over-week movement arrows begin with next week's issue, once a second weekly snapshot is in. Sample this issue: 398,709 open roles across 46,659 active companies.
Every report Ashney publishes: one function, one region, read at the source.

Ashney reads every new role against your résumé and surfaces only the ones worth your time, with the one honest gap on each.
