Hidden Job Market Access Calculator

The Hidden Job Market Access Calculator estimates how many qualified roles you cannot see if you only apply through public job boards. You select your industry's hiring transparency, your role seniority, the number of board roles you have found so far, your network activation level, and your target salary. The calculator returns the hidden share of the market, the total addressable role count, and the number of roles only accessible through network outreach. Use it as a wake-up call early in any senior or executive search. The hidden share rises sharply with seniority: at the director and VP level, the majority of roles are filled before they ever reach a public job board, and a board-only search is structurally undersized.
