If your go-to-market still leads with department names, you are selling the wrong product. Today's Job Index has 43 new roles. The usable story is which atomic skills show up across those postings.

Skill counts from the fresh export#

Window 2026-09-16 = 43 new roles and 45 publishable skills. We refuse to treat broad soft-skill tags as demand proof.

Atomic skills with role mentions in this crawl:

Ruby is today's public lead - 11 roles - after the 7-day category cooldown. Cybersecurity may be louder by raw count (39 roles) but is not the public headline today.

About 5.0% of top-skill sample titles mention remote or distributed work in this window. Treat that as a weak location signal inside the crawl, not a market-wide remote percentage.

Capability is the product being bought#

Fractional and full-time buyers both shortcut to 'can you do X this month?'. The index is a daily X-list. Pick from it, ship proof, and stop arguing with keyword filters.

Your next 7 days against this board#

Start with the loudest publishable skill you can honestly demo. Ship something small enough to finish this week. Attach it to a room that already needs it. That loop is the product; the title is packaging.
