## About this data

Sumble built this page. Sumble gives sales, marketing and other GTM teams technographics and hiring signals for the companies they sell to: the technologies each company uses, which teams are hiring and for what, and who reports to whom. That helps a team know who to contact, why now, and what to say.

Sumble covers more than 3.6 million companies, 93 million job posts collected since 2022 and 194 million employee profiles, and tracks more than 37,000 technologies. It finds which technologies a company uses by reading its job posts and its employees' public profiles.

Sumble has a free plan, and the same data is available through its API and MCP server.

A company counts when its own job posts or its employees' public profiles name the technology. Hiring is that technology's share of all job posts collected each month. Quotes are copied word for word from the companies' job posts.

Every figure on this page comes from Sumble's own analysis, and you won't find it outside Sumble.
