Dataset card

The dataset "linkedin-and-indeed-job-postings" is a community-published collection of job postings aggregated from LinkedIn and Indeed. Listed under the Jobs & Workforce category on altdata.wiki, it is intended for labor-market analysis rather than as a commercial feed.

What this dataset contains

According to the available listing, the dataset bundles job postings drawn from two public job boards, LinkedIn and Indeed. No license, dataset size, update frequency, geographic coverage, or time range is stated by the publisher, and the README description is blank. With zero recorded downloads or likes at the time of indexing, the resource has not yet been validated by the community.

Structure and fields

The publisher has not documented a schema for this dataset, and the columns field in the catalog is marked as unknown. No sample rows, masked or otherwise, are provided to infer field names such as job title, company, location, posting date, or source platform. Prospective users would need to inspect the files directly before relying on the data.

How analysts use it

In principle, aggregated postings from LinkedIn and Indeed could support tracking hiring trends, sector-level demand, and skill mentions over time, which buy-side analysts sometimes map to revenue forecasts for staffing, payroll, or consumer-facing companies. However, because the publisher documents no schema, no license, and no coverage, any investment use case should be treated as speculative until the underlying records are reviewed and the terms of use from the source platforms are confirmed.
