If you're starting out

Admin and assistant roles are the most open to beginners: 62 of 78 are entry level. About half of sales (226 of 462) and customer support (60 of 128) are too, and 57 of 130 in operations. Engineering has 17 entry-level roles out of 407, design has 2 out of 131 and product has none out of 45.

What moved that week

Data and AI had the most new roles in the seven days to 1 November, with 47, just ahead of sales with 43. Healthcare is small, with 44 roles, but 19 of them were posted that week. 14 of those 19 came from two employers, Mindrift and Gramian Consulting Group, and they're for clinicians who review medical AI. One week doesn't make a trend, so we'll keep counting.

How the groups work

We sort roles by the words in the job title, so this is a guide and not an exact science. 426 roles, or 16%, didn't fit any group. You'll still find them on the site.

Applying is free, and nobody should pay for a job.
