Sample. 7,850 people with a profile on AITraining.jobs by the end of 26 Oct 2026.

A member's field is the field of the best fit their profile reading names (the reading the site makes of their LinkedIn profile, their CV or their own words, kept with their profile); a profile it could not place is Not stated.

Licence or doctorate: the share holding a professional licence or a research doctorate, of the members whose credential is known (what they stated, else what the candidate pool or their profile shows).

Rows with fewer than 6.8 members whose credential is known are marked as a small sample and not ranked: below that the average of the rows weighs more than a row's own members whose credential is known (the weight fitted on the rows' own counts).

No count below 3 people is shown, nor any share that would reveal one, so no figure can point at a person; a group too small to show on its own is counted in "Other".

Sample. 7,850 people with a profile on AITraining.jobs by the end of 26 Oct 2026; 4,126 of them with a known credential.

Each member counts once, at the highest they hold: a professional licence (to practise as a physician, nurse, lawyer, pharmacist, psychologist, accountant, engineer and the like), then a research doctorate, then a master's degree.

A credential is what the member stated on the site, else what they gave the candidate pool, else what their profile shows; Not known is a member for whom none of these says.

No count below 3 people is shown, nor any share that would reveal one, so no figure can point at a person; a group too small to show on its own is counted in "Other".

Sample. 905 of the 7,850 people with a profile on AITraining.jobs by the end of 26 Oct 2026 are in the United States.

A member is in the US when the country their profile or the pool gives is the United States, a US state is known for them, or, with no country known, their profile reading places them there.

Rows with fewer than 3.3 members whose credential is known are marked as a small sample and not ranked: below that the average of the rows weighs more than a row's own members whose credential is known (the weight fitted on the rows' own counts).

No count below 3 people is shown, nor any share that would reveal one, so no figure can point at a person; a group too small to show on its own is counted in "Other".

Sample. 7,850 people with a profile on AITraining.jobs by the end of 26 Oct 2026, in 143 countries.

A member's country is the one their profile gives, else the candidate pool's, else their profile reading's, else the country they visit the site from.

Licence or doctorate is a share of the members whose credential is known; Already on a platform, of all the country's members.

Rows with fewer than 37.2 members whose credential is known are marked as a small sample and not ranked: below that the average of the rows weighs more than a row's own members whose credential is known (the weight fitted on the rows' own counts).

No count below 3 people is shown, nor any share that would reveal one, so no figure can point at a person; a group too small to show on its own is counted in "Other".

For labs, data vendors and researchers

Buy the data behind this report

The figures above are a summary. Behind them are records we collect ourselves, every day:

  • 11,094 roles tracked, each with its history

    Every role on 56 job boards, read daily since 13 Jul 2026: its pay and place, and the first and last day it was open.

  • 37,580 apply clicks in 28 days

    Which roles people actually apply to, by field, pay and kind of work. It happens on this site, so nobody else can count it.

  • 39 lab and vendor hiring boards

    The job boards of 25 AI labs and 14 human-data vendors, read every day: who is hiring for human data, and who is hiring to buy it.

What you can buy

  • The records

    The rows behind any figure, with their history, not only the totals.

  • A regular feed

    The same figures every week or month, as files.

  • A custom cut or benchmark

    Your countries, languages or fields, or your own platform against the market.

Building AI and need the experts behind this data? (you contract them yourself) or (we deliver the expert work).

Investing in AI-data companies? Hiring radar is these records role by role, every day, as files.

Method and definitions

The profiles of the people looking for AI training work on AITraining.jobs (their LinkedIn profile, CV or own words, read by the site), the credentials they state or their profile shows, and the job alerts they subscribe to. Every figure is computed by one database query over the window shown, the same query for the live report and for every edition. Each figure states its sample beneath it.

Member
A person with a profile on AITraining.jobs by the window's end: someone looking for AI training work who gave the site their LinkedIn profile, their CV or their own description of their work.
Field
A member's field is the field of the best fit their profile reading names (software and IT, health and medicine, law, languages and translation, and the other groups the site's matching uses). A role is in a field when its title names one of the field's professions, by the rule the profession pages list roles with.
Highest credential
A professional licence (to practise as a physician, nurse, lawyer, pharmacist, psychologist, accountant, engineer and the like), else a research doctorate, else a master's degree, else none: what the member stated on the site, else what they gave the candidate pool, else what their profile shows. Not known when none of these says.
No cell points at a person
No count of fewer than 3 people is published, nor any share that would reveal one: with 3 or more, no one, not even a person counted, can tell who the others are. When one hidden cell could be worked out from a row's total, a second is hidden too.
Window
Live: members by the end of the last complete day, with those who joined in the last 28 complete days. Edition: members by the end of one calendar month.

What this data cannot tell you

  • These are the people who use AITraining.jobs, not every person who does AI training work: the site's audience leans to the countries and fields it is found in.
  • A profile reading can miss what a profile does not say, and a credential nobody states is Not known, never guessed.
  • Which platforms members work on is counted but not published per platform: how many people one platform has is that company's own business.

How the job feeds are read and roles are classified: site methodology. How fresh, complete and consistent the data is, checked every day: data quality and coverage.

Editions

The live report covers the last 28 complete days and changes every day. Each complete month is also published as an edition, frozen two days after the month ends, so a figure you cite from an edition never moves.
