    Abstract: Methods, systems, and computer programs are presented for analyzing and generating employee-mobility information. One method includes an operation for determining transitions of users of a social network based on user profiles. Each transition includes a change of employment. Further, the method includes creating a member table based on the determined transitions and the user profiles. The member table includes fields for a company identifier and a previous company identifier, where the previous company identifier indicates a transition from the source company that is associated with the previous company identifier to the destination company that is associated with the company identifier. The method further includes operations for providing a user interface for receiving user input to create a report based on the determined transitions, accessing the member table to generate report data based on the received user input, and for causing presentation of the report based on the report data.
