How to Use AIDular for Job Market Research

By Praneeta·July 17, 2026·3 min read

AIDular can do your job market research for you on a schedule, so you always know what roles are opening up, what skills employers want, and what salaries are being offered, without checking ten different sites every week.

Most people only research the job market when they are actively applying. That is too late. The people who get hired fast are the ones who have been paying attention for months. They already know which companies are hiring, which skills keep appearing in job ads, and what the going rate is. AIDular helps you do exactly that, on autopilot.

Step 1: Decide What You Actually Want to Know

Before you write a prompt, get specific. Vague prompts give vague reports.

Ask yourself:

  • Which job titles am I interested in? (e.g. "UX designer", "data analyst", "marketing coordinator")
  • Which industry or location matters to me?
  • Do I want to track new job postings, salary ranges, hiring news, or all three?

Pick one or two focus areas per report. You can always create separate reports for different goals.

Step 2: Write Your Prompt

A good AIDular prompt reads like a clear instruction to a smart research assistant. You do not need technical language. Just say what you want tracked.

Here is a copy-paste example you can use right now:

Track hiring trends for entry-level UX design roles in the United States. Find new job postings, any news about companies hiring or laying off UX designers, and any mentions of skills or tools employers are asking for most. Include salary ranges where available.

That one prompt will give you a clean, sourced report covering new openings, company news, and skills in demand, all in one place.

Step 3: Choose Your Schedule

For job market research, weekly is the sweet spot for most people.

  • Daily makes sense only if you are actively applying right now and want to catch new postings fast.
  • Weekly is good for keeping up with trends, company news, and skill shifts without being overwhelmed.
  • Monthly works if you are doing long-term career planning and just want a big-picture view every few weeks.

If you are six months away from a job search, set it to monthly. If your first interview is next week, switch to daily.

Step 4: Add a Second Prompt for Salary Data

Salary information is one of the most useful things to track and one of the most overlooked. Set up a separate AIDular report just for this.

Find recent salary data and compensation reports for mid-level data analysts in the UK. Include any new surveys, articles, or job ads that mention salary or pay ranges. Focus on 2025 and 2026 data.

Run this one monthly. Salary data does not change overnight, but it shifts over a year, and you want current numbers when you are negotiating.

Step 5: Read Your Report Like a Researcher

When your report lands in your inbox, do not just skim it. Spend five minutes looking for patterns.

  • Are the same three companies appearing every week? That means they are actively growing. Look them up.
  • Is a tool or skill showing up repeatedly in job ads? Add it to your learning list.
  • Are there layoff headlines in your sector? That is useful context before you apply anywhere.

Your report includes sources, so you can click through to the original job postings or articles whenever something catches your eye.

Step 6: Share It With Someone Else

If you have a friend, classmate, or mentor in the same field, add their email as a report recipient. You both get the same weekly update, and it gives you something real to talk about. "Did you see that three fintech companies are all hiring junior analysts this month?" That kind of shared context is genuinely useful for networking.
