Sample. The first and the last complete week of 14 Sep 2026 to 4 Oct 2026.

Open roles are the average over the week's days; the rate and the share of roles stating pay are read at the start of each week.

Sample. Average open roles over each week's days, on the 38 employers tracked since 14 Sep 2026 (the fixed panel), 14 Sep 2026 to 4 Oct 2026.

The index is the panel's open roles against the week of 14 Sep 2026 (100). Employers first tracked later appear only in the last column, so their arrival never reads as hiring growth.

It rises with RobotTraining.jobs's own audience as well as with interest in the work: read it beside the other weeks, not as a market total.

Put this data to work

  • A custom cut

    Any figure for your countries, cities, kinds of work, vehicles or dates.

  • A regular feed

    The same figures weekly or monthly, as files or through the data endpoints.

  • Your company, benchmarked

    Your listings, pay and reach against the market, from public job boards.

Method and definitions

The public job boards of the robot training employers and programs this site tracks, read every day. Apply clicks are made on RobotTraining.jobs. Every figure is computed by one database query over the window shown, the same query for the live report and for every edition. Each figure states its sample beneath it.

Fixed panel
The employers already tracked when the window opens. The index follows their open roles, so an employer added later never reads as market growth.
Index
The panel's average open roles in a week, divided by the same in the base week, times 100.
Open role
A role listed by a given day and still in its employer's feed that day.
New listing
A role that first appeared during the window at an employer already tracked before that week. An employer's first week in this dataset is its back catalogue and is not counted as new.
Removed listing
A role that left its employer's feed during the window.
Advertised pay
The hourly figure a posting states (the middle of a stated range). Medians need at least 8 roles stating a rate; the middle half runs from the 25th to the 75th percentile.
Clicks per open role a week
Apply clicks on RobotTraining.jobs divided by the days the roles were open, times 7.
Window
Live: the last twelve complete ISO weeks (Monday to Sunday, UTC), from the week of 14 Sep 2026 at the earliest. Edition: the weeks of one calendar month.

What this data cannot tell you

  • Employers that recruit without a public job board are not counted, and some data-collection programs enrol people through an app rather than a job listing.
  • A listing is not a hire. Some employers keep evergreen roles open for months, and some post one listing per city or country.
  • Apply clicks measure interest among the people who use RobotTraining.jobs, and what is shown first gets clicked more.
  • This dataset's job boards were first read on 12 Sep 2026, so the index does not reach back further than the week of 14 Sep 2026.

How the job feeds are read and roles are classified: site methodology. How fresh, complete and consistent the data is, checked every day: data quality and coverage.

Editions

The live index covers the last twelve complete weeks (from 3 Aug 2026 at the earliest) and moves on every Monday. Each complete month is also published as an edition, frozen two days after the month ends, so a figure you cite from an edition never moves.
