By Charles Thibault on October 2, 2009 in Employer Watch.

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 five companies appearing in the Gazelles Report.

Morgan Stanley's job postings for Financial Specialists, and for Personal Financial Advisors in particular, has triggered a Gazelles alert (NYSE:MS).  Morgan Stanley Private Equity owns the Learning Care Group, which is why so many Education positions are being advertised for.

Advertiser Watch – ADC Telecommunications, Advance Auto Parts, Sears, Rite Aid, Kforce

By Charles Thibault on July 31, 2009 in Employer Watch.

Every week WANTED produces Gazelles Reports. These reports detail companies whose Hiring Demand has spiked or has shown upward trending in the past month. Gazelles can be triggered by climbing Hiring Demand across the entire United States, or can be triggered by spikes in job postings in any of the 23 major Standard Occupational Classification Codes. Media clients can also receive Gazelles centered around a geographic market area. Every week, we review 5 companies who have appeared in the Gazelles report, with a bias towards those that are publicly traded.

Rite Aid (NYSE:RAD), the drug store, has created a Gazelles alert by posting for "First-Line Supervisors/Managers of Retail Sales Workers". It has posted an average of 50 such job per week for the last year. Just in the first three weeks of July it posted 592 of these jobs, or almost 150 per week. The historical point correlation between the 4-week moving summation of new job ads and stock price is 0.65.
