Monthly jobs story: who is hiring and what
A monthly jobs data story, sector by sector.
What it does
On the 1st of the month: job postings in your city, sorted by xMap AI into sectors, with the numbers and the biggest hirers, written as a short data story for the economy page.
In one sentence: Monthly on the 1st at 08:00, in Jakarta, find companies hiring for “staff”, clean up their categories, write a report with xMap AI, then email the list to you.
Why it is useful
Official jobs numbers come late. Job postings show who is hiring now, and the story is ready on the 1st.
Who it is for
Media, newsrooms & publishing. Newsrooms, broadcasters, publishers and media sales teams who need local stories, audiences and advertisers first. Every use case for media & publishing
Best use cases
- An economy desk
- A business magazine
- A city development agency’s blog
What each run gives you
- An email with the story
The time it saves
Monthly on the 1st at 08:00. Doing the same work by hand takes about 120 minutes each time; it runs about 1 time a month, so it saves about 2 hours a month (an estimate). It is easy: 6 blocks.
