[01] Hiring momentum
Who's hiring data scientists right now
Companies with data & research postings in the last 90 days, ranked by how many jobs they posted in the last 30. Posting counts include both remote and on-site openings.
Posted 30d counts every job the company listed in the last 30 days across all roles; the surge badge compares its data & research postings against its own 90-day baseline.
[02] Compensation
Data Scientist salary, level by level
Median pay across 35 companies with reported Data Scientist bands.
Each figure is the median of company-level p50s (base salary and total compensation, USD). Company ladder codes that can't be compared across companies (L4, IC3, ...) are excluded. 754 reported data points in total.
[03] Response time
Fastest to respond
Among companies hiring data & research roles, the fastest median time from application to first recruiter screen — measured from real applications sent through Scoutify.
Medians are company-wide (all roles), so treat them as how quickly each recruiting org moves, not a per-role guarantee.
