Hiring percentile by month
What the numbers say
Merck is in the 37th hiring percentile in April 2026, hiring slower than most employers. Over 12 months the percentile moved +1 pt (from April 2025), a trend that is roughly flat.
Looking at people moving in and out over the 36 months to March 2026, Merck's balance of joins versus leaves is better than at 37% of US employers in the panel. That is close to the typical US employer. 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 Health Care, the median employer in our US panel is in the 46th hiring percentile, so Merck is below its sector peers this month.
About 11% of the career moves we observe at Merck are in tech roles.
These figures come from 3,497 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.
