Shrinking.

Over two years, visits went from 2.0M in November 2024 to a high of 4.7M in December 2024, and stand at 1.4M in October 2026. Five sites take 75.9% of visits, so one ranking change at the top moves the whole line.

Miles explains

I only call a market growing when visits and name searches agree. Here visits are down and name searches are down, so they agree.

“ai job search tools” is searched about 2,900 times a month worldwide, 66% of it in the US.

Google Trends barely registered “ai job search tools” until February 2025; interest then climbed to its peak in March 2026. Americans make 66% of the searches but only 21.4% of the visits, because the big sites also draw heavily from India, Canada and Brazil.

Miles explains

Google Trends shows direction, not volume. Interest is lower than a year ago, and I only trust that when the visits move the same way.

Fewer visits than a year ago, fewer people searching by name, and the next six months look like a slide.

The fastest growers over the year, lockedin-ai, JobCopilot and Kickresume, grew fastest, mostly from a smaller base. The losers, led by Huntr, lost most of their search visits (-91%).

Biggest gain this month

TalentCloud AI +45%

JobCopilot -18%

Miles explains

Huge percentages like lockedin-ai’s +150% usually mean one site won a big Google ranking from a small start. I watch whether it holds the next month.

I expect November 2026 to be about the same as October 2026, and the next six months to look down.

The forecast carries the level of recent months forward, not the trend line, because that version missed least when tested on past months.

Expected in November 2026

1,361,661 visits

Likely range

1.2M to 1.5M

Expected in May 2027

Miles explains

Read the range, not the single number: tested on the last 6 months, my method landed inside its range 5 times.

The most visited is Resume Worded, with 340,819 visits a month, 24% of all visits.

Resume Worded and Zety together hold 43% of all visits. Below the top five the market is long and thin: the other 24 sites share 24.1%.

Resume Worded alone has 24% of all visits. That’s a big lead, but one Google update can close it fast.
