Xselar Hiring Atlas

Data from the U.S. Department of Labor, compiled by Xselar.

Companies grouped by Xselar.

How to read this chart

Each bar counts H-1B labor condition applications filed with the U.S. Department of Labor: filings, not positions, and not hires or approved visas. Years are U.S. federal fiscal years, October to September.

Feedback, questions and corrections (for example, a company grouped wrong) are welcome. Write to contact@apply.xselar.com.

Xselar tracks the open roles at the companies in this atlas and ranks them against your own background — three matches each morning, chosen for you rather than scraped for everyone.
