Spotlight
A Powerful New Self-Service Platform for Understanding Fast-Changing Regional, National & Global Labour Markets.
What is Spotlight?
We've been providing labour market data in intuitive tools to organisations like yours for more than two decades. But as we listened to our customers, we kept hearing the same feedback: the data is amazing, but if only we could create our own dashboards, compare data across countries, and easily share the data with our stakeholders.
So we built a tool that allows you to create your own dashboards, compare labour market data across countries, and easily share the results with your internal and external stakeholders. And we called it Spotlight.
What does Spotlight give you?
If you're anything like our hundreds of customers across the globe, what you need from a labour market data tool is great data giving compelling insights in a tool so simple and intuitive that anyone in your organisation could potentially use it. Spotlight contains the most holistic, granular, and reliable source of labour market analytics you'll find anywhere in the world, in a plafrorm that enables even the least data-savvy user to extract key insights relating to industries, occupations, employers, and skills.
Some labour market tools just contain data from official sources. Others contain only big data job postings. Spotlight gives you both, combining official government labour market statistics from countries across the globe, with world-leading proprietary data derived from millions of online job postings, which are updated every month.
Maybe you want insights on general labour market trends. Or maybe data on demand in specific industries, jobs and employers. Or perhaps you want to dive into the building blocks of labour markets - skills. Whatever aspects of the labour market you want to look at, whether your focus is international, national, or local, Spotlight has it.
The rationale behind Spotlight was to offer a tool that puts users firmly in the driving seat, enabling them to build custom dashboards, with the geographies, parameters and metrics they are interested in, and to be able to easily share these reports. So why not book a demo now, and let us show you what it does and how it can help.
"It’s astounding what Lightcast does. They source information from 18 billion government data points, over three billion historic job postings, more than 300 million employee profiles, and almost 10 million company profiles. They clean this data up, aggregate it, and most importantly match it to a public skills taxonomy they maintain that shows the dynamic relationship between skills and jobs. Lightcast data is not only validated and cleaned up, it’s also correlated with real jobs in real cities with real wages."
