What are the trends in active user numbers, job postings, and GMV (gross merchandise value) for the quarter?

Answer

The press release you quoted only announces that KanZhun Limited (BOSS Zhipin) will publish its unaudited Q2 2025 results on August 20 2025. It does not include any quantitative information about:

  • Active user numbers (e.g., monthly active users or daily active users)
  • Job postings (e.g., total listings, new postings vs. expirations)
  • GMV – Gross Merchandise Value (the total value of transactions processed on the platform)

Because those metrics are not disclosed in the announcement, we cannot determine the direction of the trends (whether they are increasing, decreasing, or flat) for the quarter from this specific news item.

How to obtain the trend information

  1. Wait for the Q2 2025 earnings release (August 20 2025).

    • The company’s earnings presentation, press release, or the SEC Form 10‑Q (for the U.S. filing) will typically contain a “Key Metrics” or “Operating Highlights” slide/table that shows quarter‑over‑quarter changes in active users, job postings, and GMV.

  2. Check the investor relations section of KanZhun’s website.

    • After the results are posted, the site usually provides a downloadable PDF of the earnings release, a slide deck, and sometimes a supplemental “Management Discussion & Analysis” (MD&A) that discusses the performance of these core metrics.

  3. Monitor financial data providers and news wires.

    • Services such as Bloomberg, Reuters, FactSet, or S&P Capital IQ will update their databases with the reported figures shortly after the release. They often also provide historical trend charts that let you see the change versus prior quarters and the same quarter in the previous year.

  4. Listen to the earnings call (if scheduled).

    • Companies often hold a conference call/webcast for analysts and investors. The call transcript or replay will usually include management commentary on user growth, posting volume, and GMV, sometimes with forward‑looking guidance.

  5. Review regulatory filings.

    • For a U.S.-listed company, the Form 10‑Q filed with the SEC will contain detailed financial statements and footnotes that break out GMV and other operating metrics. The HKEX filing (if any) may also provide comparable data for the Hong Kong market.

What to expect (based on typical reporting)

While we can’t provide the actual Q2 2025 numbers, here’s the type of information companies in the online recruitment space usually disclose:

Metric Typical reporting format What analysts look for
Active Users Monthly Active Users (MAU) and Daily Active Users (DAU) – often shown as YoY (year‑over‑year) and QoQ (quarter‑over‑quarter) growth percentages. Growth in user base signals market traction; a slowdown may raise concerns about platform saturation or competitive pressure.
Job Postings Total job listings posted during the quarter; sometimes broken down by industry, region, or job type. Higher posting volume indicates stronger demand from employers; a decline could reflect macro‑economic headwinds or hiring freezes.
GMV (Gross Merchandise Value) Total value of all transactions (e.g., fees, advertising spend, premium services) processed on the platform for the quarter. Usually presented with YoY/QoQ growth and sometimes a margin (GMV ÷ Revenue). GMV growth reflects the platform’s ability to monetize its user base and expand higher‑value services.

When the Q2 2025 results are released, you can compare these figures to:

  • Q1 2025 (to gauge short‑term momentum)
  • Q2 2024 (to assess year‑over‑year performance)
  • Management’s guidance (to see if the company expects continued growth or a slowdown).

Bottom line

The current announcement does not provide the data needed to answer the question about trends in active users, job postings, or GMV for Q2 2025. You’ll need to wait for the actual earnings release on August 20 2025, or consult the subsequent SEC/HKEX filings, investor presentations, or earnings call transcripts to obtain those details. Once the figures are available, you can analyze the quarter‑over‑quarter and year‑over‑year changes to determine the direction of each trend.
