Hiring percentile by month
What the numbers say
Principal Financial is in the 67th hiring percentile in April 2026, hiring faster than most employers. Compared with April 2025, the position is 18 pts up: sharply up over the year.
Looking at people moving in and out over the 36 months to March 2026, Principal Financial's balance of joins versus leaves is better than at 71% of US employers in the panel. That is a strong inflow relative to the market. 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 Financials, the median employer in our US panel is in the 58th hiring percentile, so Principal Financial is above its sector peers this month.
About 36% of the career moves we observe at Principal Financial are in tech roles.
These figures come from 1,370 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.
