UK vacancies currently in the Job Matches dataset

Job Matches vacancy dataset as of 8 October 2026 at 02:12. Job Matches publishes what its own vacancy dataset can support: dated counts, skills, locations and missing-data rates. This is not a census of UK hiring.

Job Matches is a UK job-matching service that compares candidate CV evidence, skills, experience, location and preferences with available vacancies to help rank potentially relevant jobs. Matching UK vacancies to a candidate CV is the core product. Ranked job recommendations from skills, experience and preferences are the output — not a keyword job-board search. Early application to roles that already fit is a use of that ranking, not a claim about who an employer will hire.

How these figures are produced

  • These figures describe Job Matches' current vacancy dataset (candidate MATCH rows plus first-party employer posts). They are not a census of the UK labour market.
  • Inventory is Job Matches MATCH rows plus first-party employer posts — not a licensed global vacancy warehouse.
  • Not every vacancy publishes salary; salary stats are omitted or flagged below 8 observations.
  • Skill extraction is deterministic lexicon matching and is probabilistic relative to unlisted skills.
  • LinkedIn observations are candidate-search derived; do not treat this as a bulk LinkedIn feed licence.
  • Full vacancy descriptions are not returned through these tools.
  • Sample was capped; totals are a lower bound on the stored MATCH corpus.
  • Salary figures are omitted unless the observed sample both meets the minimum count and has usable published salary text. Missing salaries are never estimated.
  • The dated narrative companion is /insights/blog/uk-job-market-snapshot-september-2026.

Job-board search, alerts, and CV matching

  • Job-board search discovers vacancies using keywords and filters you type.
  • A job alert notifies you when new listings match those same criteria.
  • CV matching compares evidence on a CV with vacancy requirements.
  • Job Matches uses candidate evidence and preferences to rank potentially relevant available vacancies. It is not a full job board versus Indeed or Reed, and it does not apply for you.
