Hiring percentile by month
What the numbers say
As of April 2026, IBM sits in the 28th hiring percentile, hiring slower than most employers. The 12-month change is +10 pts since April 2025 — sharply up.
Looking at people moving in and out over the 36 months to March 2026, IBM's balance of joins versus leaves is better than at 27% of US employers in the panel. More people are leaving relative to joining than at most US employers. We rank this balance inside the month rather than showing raw net flow, because newer résumés reveal joins with a delay and raw counts understate recent hiring everywhere.
Within Information Technology, the median employer in our US panel is in the 55th hiring percentile, so IBM is below its sector peers this month.
About 34% of the career moves we observe at IBM are in tech roles.
These figures come from 48,353 job changes in public résumé histories over a rolling 36-month window, not from job postings. Postings show intent; résumé histories show who actually joined. The data is updated monthly and currently runs through April 2026.
