San Francisco, CA (PRWEB) May 19, 2016 -- SmartRecruiters, the Hiring Success Company, today released internal data about the state of hiring across the U.S. The data reveals the hottest job categories in major cities from coast to coast, the best times of the year to post and apply for jobs and which job categories have the shortest – and longest – time to hire.

Want a job in tech? Try Austin
Unsurprisingly, tech remains the hottest job market in major cities from coast to coast, with 24 percent of all job postings in this category. Looking at just San Francisco, New York, Austin and Los Angeles, the figure rises to 43 percent.

The five most popular job industries In the U.S.:
Technology                             24 percent
Healthcare                             16 percent
Communications              7 percent
Retail                  6 percent
Manufacturing                 4 percent

The hottest job categories in each city are more surprising. For example, the hottest market for tech jobs is Austin (71 percent). Only 2 percent of job ads in “the Live Music Capital of the World” are for entertainment/media.The hottest market for communications is in New York (13 percent of local jobs), while the hottest market for finance is in San Francisco (5 percent of local jobs). The data also illustrates how hard it is to hire for high-demand tech jobs: each tech job only gets five applications.

“Our mission is to re-invent recruiting for both companies and candidates,” said SmartRecruiters CEO Jerome Ternynck. “We are pleased to release these results to assist anyone looking for a great job or anyone looking for great talent. These results are based on the amazing level of hiring success activity--ten million candidates and one million jobs--occurring on the SmartRecruiters Talent Acquisition Platform. ”

Best time of the year to post and apply for jobs
According to SmartRecruiters data, the most strategic time for companies to hire is in the spring and summer (May, June and July). That is when the highest number of job applicants are on the market. Companies will find the fewest candidates just before the holidays, in October and November.

Meanwhile, the best time for job seekers to look for a job is in January, February and March, when the highest number of jobs are open to be filled. November and December are the months with the fewest available positions.

Average time to hire
Job seekers looking for work in a hurry would be advised to flex their sales and admin muscles – according to SmartRecruiters’ data, companies fill these positions the quickest. On the other hand, companies take their time when hiring senior sales executives and sales engineers, as these positions can go unfilled for almost three months:

Top ten positions that take the longest time to fill:

Senior Sales Executive         89 days        
Sales Engineer                             88 days        
Process Engineer                     82 days        
Project Manager                         80 days        
Technical Account Manager         77 days        
Senior Product Manager                77 days        
Dietary Aide                                    76 days        
Production Supervisor                 74 days        
Systems Engineer                   73 days        
Regional Sales Manager                71 days        

Top ten positions that are the quickest to fill:

Sales Representative             19 days
Executive Admin Asst         21 days
Inside Sales Manager         25 days
Receptionist                         31 days
Delivery Driver                      31 days
Office Administrator             32 days
Brand Ambassador             32 days
Accounting Assistant         33 days
Dishwasher                             36 days
Customer Support Rep         36 days
