Every day, WANTED's web spiders crawl through employment websites, capturing new job ads. Our proprietary technology removes duplicates, normalizes critical analytical components, appends established third party data elements, and organizes the lot in a robust data warehouse.

By mining the 4+ years of data accessible through Analytics 2.0, WANTED can detect when companies increase their Hiring Demand. The WANTED Gazelles Report specifically focuses on these companies. Every week, we feature several companies appearing in the Gazelles Report.

Medco Health Solutions has shown an upward trending in its number of job ads. What's particularly encouraging about this company's outlook is the growth in Hiring Demand for its core occupation – Medical and Health Services Managers.

Starbucks (NASDAQ:SBUX) has triggered a Gazelles alert by showing strong demand for "Management Occupations". Hiring Demand Indicators are well suited for large, sprawling corporations with thousands of employees. Since Hiring Demand is spread out across many many small locations, the aggregate activity of individual locations – without their knowing what other locations are doing – can be reflective of the overall corporate outlook.
