How it works

The candidate pool within your radius, measured.

ReqRadius draws a radius around your opening (Reports compare 10, 25, and 50 miles), counts who is licensed to do the job inside it, compares that with local demand and pay, and turns the result into one 0 to 10 index with the drivers and levers spelled out.

Order

Choose a plan, then enter the profession, location, and (optionally) your offered pay, sign-on, and days open. Pay once by card in Stripe Checkout.

Validate

Automated checks confirm that the location geocodes, the profession is supported, and your inputs fall in a sensible range. If something is off, you get an automatic email before the build starts.

Methodology

How the index is scored

Each component is scored 0 to 10 from its evidence, then combined with the published weights below. If an input is blank, that component is re-weighted and the report is labeled a partial index.

30%

25%

18%

16%

11%

Standard 0 to 3.9

Elevated 4 to 6.9

Hard 7 to 10

Confidence label. Every report prints standard, reduced, or low confidence based on data completeness: whether local BLS wage cells are published or fall back to state level, whether your pay and days-open inputs were provided, and data freshness.

What each component uses

Component	Weight	Evidence
Supply vs demand	30%	NPPES and state licensure counts in radius vs BLS OEWS employment, Census ACS population, HRSA shortage flags
Pay competitiveness	25%	Your offer and sign-on vs BLS OEWS local 10th, 25th, 50th, 75th, 90th percentiles (state level if a local cell is suppressed or unreliable)
Req history	18%	Your days open and reposts vs the BLS JOLTS openings trend
Location & rurality	16%	USDA ERS Rural-Urban Continuum Codes, Census population, HRSA HPSA
Role type	11%	Your role title mapped to O*NET
Workplace reputation	0%	Live Google rating per nearby workplace, shown with “Google Maps” attribution in Reports and Hiring Packs, for context

How to read the numbers

The radius is measured in straight-line miles from your location.
BLS wage data is released once a year. Where a local figure is unpublished, the state figure is used.
JOLTS is published at national and state level, so it gives trend context for your region.
NPPES practice locations are self-reported by providers and refreshed from the monthly file.
Counts under 5 are suppressed.
