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.

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.
