When we first started writing this report, we covered “hiring” as a whole, so combined our job boards report with this one.
After each report became large enough to stand on its own, it made more sense to separate the two and hope that if you’re in one of these industries (or looking to get into them), you’ll agree.
In this report we're tracking $182.1M in monthly recurring revenue and $60.2M in funding.
