Hiring is concentrated: the top 1% of companies (310 employers) post 31.3% of all listings in our pool of 204,223 US tech & professional postings. A small set of high-volume employers drives most real demand.
Most 'open' jobs come from a handful of companies. Here is the searchable leaderboard of who is actually hiring — and where they post.
SoviaJobs ResearchData through June 2026
Key findings
- The top 1% of companies (310 employers) post 31.3% of all listings.
- The single biggest source by volume is an aggregator (Dice), not one employer hiring at scale.
- An estimated 5.9% of postings come from staffing/recruiting firms — a lower bound.
Hiring is concentrated in a few companies
A small number of employers account for most of the addressable supply. The top 1% of companies post 31.3% of all listings; the top 10% post 64.5%. For a job seeker, that means your odds improve by applying where hiring actually concentrates rather than spreading effort across thousands of one-off posters.

Dice leads as an aggregator that re-lists many employers’ openings — read it as a discovery board, not one company hiring at that scale.
The top-100 hirers — searchable
The most active sources in our pool by posting volume, with median posted pay and remote share. Search by company or role and sort by any column. One caveat up front: Dice leads the table, but it is an aggregator/job board that re-lists openings from many employers — not a single company hiring 3,545 people. Median pay figures are platform-estimated posted ranges shown to candidates, not employer-disclosed salaries.

Where companies post — the ATS / host mix
Knowing where jobs are hosted tells you where to look. linkedin carries the largest share at 22.9%, followed by workday and ashby. Dice shows up here as an aggregator rather than a single-company applicant-tracking system, so treat its volume differently from a company-owned ATS.

What this means for your search
Concentration is actually good news if you use it. A handful of high-volume employers and a few dominant hosts cover most of the real openings — so a focused strategy beats volume spraying:
- Prioritize the high-volume employers in the leaderboard that match your stack and level.
- Apply through the company’s own ATS (workday, ashby, greenhouse, lever) rather than an aggregator re-list when both exist.
- Treat aggregator-heavy sources (Dice and similar boards) as discovery, then verify the role on the employer’s own site.
- Watch for staffing-firm names — useful for fast contract work, but a different process than applying direct.
How this was measured (n=204,223)
Sample: 204,223 postings · Window: 2026-03-20 – 2026-06-09
Method
- Companies ranked by distinct posting volume after deduplication to one row per posting ID.
- Concentration = share of all postings held by the top N% of companies by volume.
- Staffing-firm share estimated by a company-name heuristic (e.g. recruiting/staffing keywords).
- Host mix computed from the application host, with Greenhouse variants merged and *.myworkdayjobs.com summed.
Limitations
- The #1 source by volume is an aggregator (Dice), not a single employer.
- Staffing-firm share is a lower bound — many agencies post under client brand names.
- Median pay figures are platform-estimated posted ranges, not employer disclosure.
- Corpus is tech & professional roles, not all US jobs.

Who is actually hiring FAQ
Who is actually hiring in 2026?
Hiring is highly concentrated. In our pool of 204,223 US tech & professional postings, the top 1% of companies (310 employers) account for 31.3% of all listings, and the top 10% account for 64.5%. The biggest single source by volume is the aggregator Dice, not a single employer.
What companies post the most tech jobs?
By posting volume, the most active sources in our pool are Dice (3,545 postings), Amazon (2,547), and Microsoft (1,518). Note the leader is an aggregator that re-lists jobs from many employers, not one company hiring at that scale.
How concentrated is hiring across companies?
Very concentrated. The top 1% of companies post 31.3% of jobs, the top 5% post 52.8%, and the top 10% post 64.5%. Most of the addressable openings come from a small set of high-volume employers — so applying where hiring concentrates beats spraying across the long tail.
How much of hiring is through staffing or recruiting firms?
An estimated 5.9% of postings come from staffing or recruiting firms, identified by a company-name heuristic. Treat that as a lower bound — many agencies post under client brand names, so the true share is higher.
Where are most tech jobs posted (which ATS)?
By application host, linkedin leads with 22.9% of postings, followed by workday (14.8%) and ashby (6.6%). Dice appears as an aggregator/job board rather than a single-company ATS.
Is this the whole US job market?
No. SoviaJobs is a tech & professional job-application platform, so read this as the tech & professional job market, not all US jobs. Company and host volumes are robust within that corpus and refreshed monthly.
