Sorry if I've missed the main idea behind this, but why would that be relevant?

  Looking at companies' hiring data is a great way to monitor competition. If they try to hire for more positions than in the past they're probably growing, conversely they might be stagnating if it's the other way round. If they hire people with specific skills it might also tell you what they're up to right now like going public or working on a new, supposedly secret project. Take Apple for instance. A notoriously secretive company, previous new projects like the iPhone, the Apple Watch and most notably a self-driving car have first been revealed by their own job postings.

    This is in my opinion the same as buying at the height of a bubble; by the time you get this data on your competitor, you will be way behind. Why not spend resources on improving the offering?

      True. Still, keeping tabs on the competition is big business.

  If you're unhappy with your current workplace and want to do similar work in the same industry, competitors are a great place to start.
