Answer-first company summary

Key observations

Deterministic summaries of the published company artifact. Comparison language appears only when an exact 7-, 30-, or 90-day boundary exists; the tables below remain the exact-value source.

  1. 7-day hiring activity

    Perplexity public posting count increased by 5 over 7 days

    Active advertised roles on the public Ashby board moved from 118 on Sep 20, 2026 to 123 on Sep 27, 2026. This is a public-posting demand signal, not completed hires, headcount, or company performance.

  2. Posted salary transparency

    Perplexity salary disclosure rate fell by 1.9 percentage points over 7 days

    Parseable employer-posted salary evidence moved from 103/118 active roles (87.3%) to 105/123 (85.4%) at the exact boundary. 1 original currency/pay-interval group is kept separate, with no foreign-exchange conversion or annualization.

  3. Employer-labeled hiring mix

    “Search” led 7-day department-label movement; “Berlin” was tied for the largest 7-day location-label move

    “Search” moved from 11 to 13 postings (+2). “Berlin” moved from 10 to 12 postings (+2); 2 published location labels shared the same absolute change. Labels are employer-provided, can overlap, and are not a normalized taxonomy or proof of an organizational decision.

  4. Verified posting-level change

    Employer-posted range changed for “Strategic Finance Lead - AI” on Sep 3, 2026

    The USD/year range moved from USD 190,000–215,000/year to USD 190,000–240,000/year between Sep 2, 2026 and Sep 3, 2026. This is one posting-level observation, not a companywide pay trend.

Multi-location and multi-team postings can appear in more than one row, so these assignments do not necessarily sum to the active-role total.

Employer-disclosed compensation evidence

Salary disclosure by department and location

Each rate uses active roles carrying the employer's label as its denominator and roles with at least one parseable employer salary disclosure as its numerator.

A posting can carry multiple employer-provided labels and therefore appear in more than one row. Rows are ranked by active labeled roles and do not necessarily sum to the company total. Employer taxonomies are shown as published rather than normalized.

Original units

Source-native salary range distribution

Each row keeps one employer-stated currency and pay interval separate. Bound summaries show minimum / median / maximum across range observations in that row.

No FX or annualization
Original unitPostingsObservationsFull rangesLower bounds: min / median / maxUpper bounds: min / median / max
USD / year105105105$75,000 / $200,000 / $300,000105 stated lower bounds$110,000 / $290,000 / $485,000105 stated upper bounds

A posting may contribute multiple observations when the employer lists separate location or compensation tiers. Posting counts are distinct within each row; observations and full ranges use the range-observation grain. Groups are not compared across currencies or pay intervals.

All current openings (123)

Openings are grouped by the employer's first department label, then by the earliest successful UTC snapshot in this archive carrying the same source job ID; date groups run oldest to newest. Each row lists the role, location, and posted salary. Every role comes from the latest successful employer ATS snapshot; a multi-label role appears once under its first employer-supplied department label.
