NEW YORK – October 29, 2026 -- Sales hiring through Multiplier grew 108% over the past year, more than double the platform's 53% overall hiring growth, according to the company's new Talent Trends data. The analysis covers more than 38,000 hires across 2,700+ companies.

Sales and support outgrow engineering, which remains the largest function

Engineering and data roles account for 25% of all hires through Multiplier, the largest single function. Continued volatility around H-1B visas has remained a driving force behind that demand. Customer support hiring grew 59%, also outpacing the 53% platform average.

Sales is now the top hiring function in several mature international markets: Australia (28%), Germany (26%) and the UK (22%).
