    TruliooPeople and recruiting

How we counted AI skills in job ads

We read every open job ad on the public Greenhouse, Lever and Ashby boards of 1,333 software companies on 29 October 2026: 45,496 ads, 39,564 after removing duplicates, internships and near-empty ads. An ad counts when a sentence about the person’s own work asks them to use AI.

The full method

  • What countsA sentence that names an AI tool (ChatGPT, Claude, Copilot, Cursor and others) or says “AI tools”, “AI-assisted”, “AI fluency” and the like, about the person’s own work. Not: lines about the company’s product or customers, its rules on AI in applications, or a tool that shares the company’s name. Ads to build AI, such as training models (2% of ads), are counted apart.
  • Company-wide textA sentence in at least 30% of a company’s ads counts once for the company, not once per ad. We read all 128 such sentences by hand; 46 say everyone is expected to use AI.
  • Role and requirementThe role comes from the job title, by rules; 4,867 ads fit no role. An ask is a requirement when its sentence says must, required, expected, daily, proficient or experience with.
  • LimitsMatching is done by rules, so the true shares are likely a few points lower than shown. We did not measure how many asks the rules missed. 67% of the ads were posted in the last 90 days.
