Original data
UK vacancies currently in the Job Matches dataset
Job Matches vacancy dataset as of 30 October 2026 at 03:55. 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.
Full source definitions and slice pages are on the vacancy dataset methodology.
Counts are unique vacancies in the current Job Matches dataset (3,957). Share is of that dataset only, not the UK labour market. A slice is listed when its sample meets the publication threshold.

Questions
- Does this represent every UK vacancy?
- No. These figures are Job Matches' own vacancy dataset: candidate MATCH rows plus first-party employer posts. They are not a census of the UK labour market and they are not a licensed bulk feed from any job board.
- What counts as an active vacancy?
- An active vacancy is a listing Job Matches still treats as open in the current dataset. Unique vacancies collapse duplicate observations of the same role. Salary figures are counted only when the listing publishes salary text. Missing salaries are never estimated.
- Who produced this data?
- Job Matches, operated by AI Build Group Ltd, produced these counts from its own matching inventory. The methodology, source split and limitations are on the vacancy dataset page.
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.
