"Great Product for US Market"
4/5
What do you like best about Lightcast?

Lightcast has one of the most comprehensive data environment for the US market including information at different geographical levels, demographics, employments, online profiles, job postings, occupation, etc. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Lightcast?

Though comprehensive in the US market, it lacks the coverage in other regions and most of its best features are only available in the US. However, they are gradually expanding the scope which is great. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"The data and products from Lightcast is useful in tying our internal workforce trends to the market."
4/5
What do you like best about Lightcast?

The availability and ease of access of workforce market data has been the highlight of using Lightcast's tools. Due to this high-quality data, our organization has dropped another workforce talent resource in favor of Lightcast. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Lightcast?

Some internal data structures, such as their specific taxonomy of Job Titles, can be difficult to understand and use. Additionally, their mapping of our jobs to standard market occupations (i.e., SOC occupations) could be better. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
