What's live: skill search, city comparison, and opportunity scores

The core product is live. Here's what you can do with it.

Job market crawling and demand scores

Every Monday, the pipeline pulls tech job postings from Duunitori and The Hub, extracts skill mentions from job descriptions, and writes the counts to the database. Each skill gets a demand score — the number of Helsinki (or Tampere, Turku, Oulu, Jyväskylä) postings that explicitly require it that week.

No surveys. No estimates from 2023. Actual postings, this week.

Skill search and comparison

The skills page lets you search and filter the full ranked list by city and experience level. The top three skills get highlight cards. Below the main list, a weekly movers section shows what rose and fell since last Monday — so you can see momentum, not just current standing.

Each skill has its own page. Click through and you get demand broken down by city, a trend chart going back several weeks, and a competition score (more on that below).

If a skill you care about isn't tracked yet, there's a form to suggest it.

City comparison

The market page shows every Finnish city we track, with total postings and a week-over-week change. Pick a city and you get:

• Total postings and WoW change
• Weekly volume chart (8 weeks of history)
• Top skills, filterable by category
• What makes this city different — skills where local demand is disproportionately high versus the Finnish average. Useful if you're weighing a move or just curious whether Tampere is more Java-heavy than Helsinki (it is).

Opportunity score

The competition badge on each skill page combines demand with a supply-side signal: how many other candidates are competing for the same postings. A skill with high demand and low competition gets a better opportunity score.

Useful for deciding where to focus if you're early in a learning path and have more than one viable option.
