Questions
Which companies are hiring the most in October 2026?
The Scout Hiring Index ranks companies by how many open US roles they list on their own job boards. This report names the leaders for the month, and the live index at tryscoutsocial.com/hiring-index updates every day.
How is the Scout Hiring Index calculated?
From open US roles on companies' own job boards (Greenhouse, Lever, Ashby and others), read daily. Companies need at least 25 open roles to be ranked overall. Pay is the typical midpoint of the yearly US-dollar ranges they post, and remote is the share of roles that can be done from anywhere in the US.
Is posted pay the same as what people are paid?
No. It's the range a company says it will pay for the role. Most offers land inside the posted range, but where depends on level and negotiation.
