How is the Hot Hiring 200 ranked?

By 7-day job-posting velocity. We count active jobs each company posted in the last 7 days across the 50+ boards Workzil aggregates. Companies are ranked by raw job count, tiebroken by recency of the most recent posting. Higher velocity = more hiring momentum right now.

How often does the ranking refresh?

Hourly. The data layer is sourced from the same continuously-updated Workzil jobs index that powers the public board, so a company that opens 12 new roles overnight will show up on the next refresh, not next week.

How is this different from the Layoff Tracker?

The Layoff Tracker covers companies cutting headcount. The Hot Hiring 200 covers the inverse — companies adding headcount fastest. The two surfaces are complementary: if your old employer is on the Layoff Tracker, the Hot Hiring 200 shows where your peers are landing next.

Why 200 specifically?

200 is the threshold where the ranking starts to dilute meaningfully. Companies #200-500 typically have 1-3 active postings — useful in aggregate but not the "fastest hiring" cohort. 200 keeps the list scan-able and focused on real hiring momentum.

Methodology

Each company is ranked by the count of active job postings created in the last 7 days, aggregated across the 50+ boards Workzil indexes (LinkedIn, Indeed, Greenhouse, Lever, Workday, Ashby, Wellfound, RemoteOK, and more).
Ties are broken by recency of the most recent posting — companies that posted today rank above companies whose most recent posting was 6 days ago.
The "Remote" column counts postings tagged remote-eligible. A company with high remote-eligible counts is likely hiring across geographies, not just at HQ.
Refreshes hourly via ISR. The exact timestamp of the underlying snapshot is the most-recent created_at in the list.
Job-board coverage is incomplete by design — we exclude staffing-agency reposts, expired postings, and listings without identifiable employers. The ranking reflects companies hiring directly, not aggregator noise.
