Every week, WANTED Technologies produces what's called a "Gazelles Report". The Gazelles Report list companies who have triggered a Gazelles alert. A Gazelle alert is triggered when a company has posted significantly more jobs in the past 4 weeks than what we would have expected given its previous behavior in the past year. In our weekly Advertiser Watch feature, we look at 5 companies that showed up in our Gazelles report, mostly focusing on publicly traded companies.
