How we count
- Age: the posting date the platform gives. Roles with no date, talent pools and paid studies are left out of the age figures.
- Added and closed: a role is added the first time we see it and closed when it leaves the platform's board. A platform's first day is treated as its backlog. We record this from 20 October 2026.
- Reposts: same platform, same title once case and punctuation are ignored, listed at least three hours after the earlier role closed.
- Levels: the level stated or inferred from each posting. Many postings state none.
- Limits: this is what platforms publish. It says nothing about whether anyone was hired. Full methodology.
