## Use Cases

### Job Board Backfill
Operators of niche, regional, or vertical job boards subscribe to receive daily job feeds for their target countries or industries. This fills inventory gaps, improves search results, and reduces dependence on organic employer postings.

### Labour Market Intelligence
Researchers and analytics teams analyse job posting volumes, required skills, salary ranges, and hiring velocity by country, industry, or company to understand labour market conditions.

### Sales Intelligence
When a company posts jobs for specific roles (e.g., "Salesforce Administrator", "DevOps Engineer"), it signals budget and investment intent. Sales teams use Techmap's company API to identify hiring companies and time outreach accordingly.

### Competitive Intelligence
Businesses monitor competitors' job postings to infer new product lines, expansion into new geographies, headcount growth, and strategic priorities. Changes in hiring patterns often precede public announcements by 3-6 months.

### Investment Intelligence
Investors and analysts track hiring velocity at portfolio companies or prospective targets as a leading indicator of growth, financial health, and strategic momentum.

### Recruitment Intelligence
HR and talent teams benchmark job descriptions, required skills, salary ranges, and benefits packages across competitors and markets to optimise their own job postings and compensation strategies.

### ML/AI Training Data
Data science teams use historical job posting datasets (405M+ records from 2020) to train and fine-tune models for: job title normalisation, skill extraction, company entity resolution, salary prediction, job classification, and HR-domain language models.

### Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG)
AI assistant developers use Techmap's API or feeds to power retrieval layers for copilots that answer questions like "which companies are hiring for X in Germany?" or "what skills are most in demand for Y roles?"
