Data-Driven Value Creation in Portfolio Companies

LinkUp’s job listing data, collected daily and directly from company websites since 2007, can provide unprecedented insight into market trends at the industry, geographic, or individual company level.

Successful data strategies have become crucial to making informed and sustainable investment decisions. In addition to expanding internal tools and talent that facilitate analysis, incorporating nuanced and comprehensive company-level data into due diligence efforts is equally important.

Analysts from PricewaterhouseCoopers and Eagle Alpha examined how companies could leverage LinkUp’s alternative job listing datasets to generate actionable competitive intelligence to help human resources departments optimize their hiring strategies. Because job listings indicate intent to hire, aggregated job listing data can be used to evaluate corporate strategy, growth rates, employee churn, employee location, part-time and full-time role distribution, or demand for specific skills.
