About this trend

Synthesized from Google Trends

Job seekers and HR teams are searching for ways to decouple career records from individual employers, driven by layoffs and gig work. The intent is overwhelmingly informational—people are researching the concept of portable work histories, not buying tools. No dominant competitor exists yet, leaving room for a product that standardizes verification and lets workers own their employment data.
