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-plus years of data accessible through Analytics 2.0 and using statistical techniques, WANTED can detect when companies increase their level of Hiring Demand – a "Gazelles alert". Every week, we produce a "Gazelles Report" which lists and details company's with spikes or upward trends in their levels of online recruitment advertising.

Below a sample of what our Gazelle Report looks like, for the 5 publicly traded companies we feature this week:

Every day, WANTED's web spiders crawl through employment websites, capturing new job ads. Our proprietary technology removes duplicates, normalizes critical analytical components (Standard Occupation Codes, standard Census Bureau location codes), appends established third party data elements (D&B DUNS), and organizes the lot in a robust data warehouse.

By mining the 4-plus years of data accessible through Analytics 2.0 and using statistical techniques, WANTED can detect when companies increase their Hiring Demand – a "Gazelles alert". The Gazelles Report lists and details company's with spikes or upward trends in their levels of recruitment advertising.

Every week, we feature five companies appearing in the Gazelles Report, with a bias towards publicly traded companies.

Acxiom Corporation was a top gainer on the NASDAQ on October 29th (NASDAQ:ACXM). Acxiom has almost tripled its Hiring Demand since May, going from 31 available jobs a week to 91 available jobs a week. Acxiom is "the global leader in interactive marketing services" according to its website, and Hiring Demand for the three main types of workers it hires has also tripled since May (Marketing Managers, Sales Managers, and Computer Systems Analysts). The correlation between Acxiom Corporation stock price and its Hiring Demand has been 0.77 over the past four years. Looking at the graph, investors would have known that something was up as early as February 2007 – it's stock only took a hit six months later. More recently, as Hiring Demand had tripled, its stock had been trading between $9 and $10. It jumped by $1.50 to $11.50 during Thursday's trading.

Radio One (NASDAQ:ROAIK) – which we've featured before – was a top gainer on the NASDAQ on August 6th. Its stock is up 150% since mid-July, which corresponds to an aggressive recruitment campaign. It triggered a Gazelle alert by posting 27 new job ads on Net-Temps, mostly for Marketing Managers. It has 18 Sales Managers, 12 Sales Representative, and 10 Advertising and Promotions jobs available. Last year at this time only 2 Sales Manager positions were available. It also has a total of 91 jobs posted on CareerMag, whereas it had none at this point last year.
