Who's Hiring and Who's Not?

Regarding the question:

"Perhaps, you can let us know how you derive those numbers?"

Here were my numbers for ADBE
Employees: 1070
Jobs Posted:174
US: 77
Abroad: 97

Note that I've seen "trolling" but generally its done within a particular area (like trolling for good product managers or other KEY hires). My numbers came from current job postings on company websites and represented (what looks to be) real job openings. Its an interesting datapoint.

Who's Hiring and Who's Not?

Regarding my comment on MCRS:

"...because of the type of job openings listed. The jobs listed by this company were not only extremely technical but clearly something is in the makes as you just don't see companies trying to hire this focused of a technical group that often."

MCRS has jobs posted for engineers, technicians, analysts, product, sales, customer support, implementation, and marketing types. When you look at other companies, they are generally hiring in a few narrow areas like sales people or some software engineers. MCRS seems to be hiring everything plus the kitchen sink. When you are expanding you need fill multiple roles versus when you are contracting or laying idle you don't need to fill multiple roles. Based on what I've seen from my list, this companies job openings are vastly different from the other similar sized companies.
