Lightcast Launches Data Products on Snowflake Marketplace

Offers Joint Customers Easy, Flexible Access to Labor Market Data

(Moscow, ID) - Jan. 23, 2024 -  Lightcast today announced that it has launched its labor data products on Snowflake Marketplace. Lightcast availability on Snowflake Marketplace will enable joint customers to gain quick and easy trial access to Lightcast’s labor market data, and to make sense of it using Lightcast’s Open Skills and Open Titles taxonomies.

“Many of our clients want to add context to their own HR data with Lightcast data on the broader job market. Making our data available on Snowflake Marketplace makes it free to try and easier to integrate with other sources. Plus, our taxonomies will help clients make the data understandable and actionable,” said Gresham Schlect, Lightcast Chief Technology Officer.

Lightcast and Snowflake, the Data Cloud company, are working together to help joint customers inform business decisions and drive innovations by making it easier to pull Lightcast data in bulk into a business intelligence or data visualization tool. Accessing the data via Snowflake will be more up to date than a traditional data pull, and easier to implement than an API.

Lightcast global job posting data covering 29 countries in 11 different languages is available to users with a Snowflake account on Snowflake Marketplace. In addition to the global offering, Snowflake users can get separate job posting data for the US, Canada, UK, Australia/New Zealand, and Singapore for specific insights. Core labor market information, including industry data and occupation earnings by percentile, is also available for the US, Canada, and the UK.

Snowflake users can also download Lightcast’s open taxonomies, known as Open Skills and Open Titles. These free taxonomies provide an open standard for classifying and categorizing jobs and skills, empowering users to understand the relationship between skills and roles. Users can build a reference to bring alongside their existing internal architecture to improve reporting capability and ability to benchmark themselves against the labor market. 

“We look forward to providing our joint customers access to Lightcast insights through Snowflake Marketplace to help them find, develop, and retain talent in an ever-more-complex global labor market,” said Kieran Kennedy, Head of Snowflake Marketplace.

Snowflake Marketplace is powered by Snowflake’s ground-breaking cross-cloud technology, Snowgrid, allowing companies direct access to raw data products and the ability to leverage data, data services, and applications quickly, securely, and cost-effectively. Snowflake Marketplace simplifies discovery, access, and the commercialization of data products, enabling companies to unlock entirely new revenue streams and extended insights across the Data Cloud.
