01The ranking
We counted public QA postings by the country in the location field. 50 countries appear, but demand is concentrated.
02By region
Grouping countries by region shows where postings concentrate.
| Region | Postings | Share |
|---|---|---|
| North America | 1,440 | 37% |
| Asia-Pacific | 1,074 | 28% |
| Central & Eastern Europe | 385 | 10% |
| Western Europe | 381 | 10% |
| Latin America | 258 | 7% |
| UK & Ireland | 191 | 5% |
| Middle East & Africa | 107 | 3% |
| Nordics | 27 | 1% |
03By city
3,151 of 3,863 postings name a city. The ten most frequent:
| City | Country | Postings |
|---|---|---|
| Bengaluru | India | 157 |
| Toronto | Canada | 150 |
| Warsaw | Poland | 87 |
| Singapore | Singapore | 82 |
| Jakarta | Indonesia | 82 |
| Hyderabad | India | 81 |
| Pune | India | 66 |
| London | United Kingdom | 60 |
| Delhi NCR | India | 53 |
| San Jose | United States | 52 |
Large cities concentrate roles, but a city count depends on whether employers write 'Remote' in the location field. Remote postings often list a country, not a city.
04What each country advertises
What is most advertised in each of the eight busiest countries:
| Country | Postings | Most common role | Its share |
|---|---|---|---|

| Canada | 313 | Manual QA Tester | 62% |

| United Kingdom | 172 | QA Automation Engineer | 34% |
| Philippines | 121 | Manual QA Tester | 41% |
| Indonesia | 109 | Manual QA Tester | 53% |
| Netherlands | 91 | QA Automation Engineer | 48% |

05Using the numbers
What to do with this depends on who you are.
- Job seekers: United States, India and Canada are the largest pools of public postings. Remote postings can open roles outside your country; see remote vs on-site by country.
- Hiring teams: if you hire in a country with few public postings, you compete with fewer visible employers. That says nothing about the supply of candidates. See hiring in 14 days.
- Salary research: start from the salary guides and the locations pages; they show pay by country.
06Method and limits
Sample: 3,863 public postings harvested 20 Oct 2026 from employer career pages and public job feeds. Listings are postings, not people or confirmed openings: one role open in several cities counts several times (2,417 distinct titles across 3,863 postings). PassRidge talent-pipeline roles (149) are excluded from every statistic.
Postings that name no city are counted at country level only.
The method for roles, tools and pay is documented on our salary methodology page. Spot an error? Write to [email protected].
