Type: not stated
Format: Tabular — monthly index series and industry x function x country cross-tabs published as a paginated report/landing page with an annexure of underlying values
Volume: Monthly index plus 12 industries x ~10 functional areas x 7 country markets — on the order of 800+ distinct aggregated cells per monthly edition, with a continuous monthly series (at least 13 months printed per edition and dated editions from mid-2025 onward). The underlying posting counts feeding the index are aggregated, not disclosed.
Users: Large regional job-board user base behind the tracker (foundit operates across the Gulf and APAC as the successor to Monster's Middle East business); the tracker itself is a subscription/report product, so employer-panel scale rather than user counts is the relevant measure — seven country markets x 12 industries monitored monthly
History: 3 years
Update frequency: not stated
Growth: Active — dated monthly editions through 2025 and into January 2026 with an unbroken index series and month-over-month restatements, indicating a live production pipeline rather than a one-off study
Launched: foundit Gulf's lineage is Monster Gulf (rebranded c.2021-2022 as the business was repositioned under the foundit brand); the Insights Tracker product line is more recent, running with a normalised index base dating from roughly 2023-2024
