How does Beauhurst assign an 'Actively hiring' status?

We assign an actively hiring status to all UK companies through a combination of manual review and automated processes.

We use publicly available information to ascertain whether the company is currently hiring. The following criteria must be met in order for a company to be considered to be actively hiring:

  • The company itself must have open job roles – listings of open job roles at external companies are not sufficient (e.g. recruitment companies hiring into client companies but not into themselves would not be actively hiring)

  • A job listing must have a job title and/or job description

  • Companies that only have a job page that contains a generic message such as “we’re always looking for new talent – get in touch” are not considered to be actively hiring.

An unknown status is set when:

  • We have been unable to find a source that confirms if they are hiring or not (e.g. no known company careers page)

  • A company is no longer tracked.

The status is reviewed and updated in line with our data quality processes.

How does Beauhurst assign a job function to key people at companies?

Whenever a person's job title is added to the platform we run it through an algorithm that classifies it with one or more functions. Not all job titles will be given a function, for example if they're unique or ambiguous.
