Methods Box

What was counted
Every figure below is a count of deduplicated postings — one row per company, job title and country, per the rule below — over the stated window.
Sample
We measure the volume of online job postings we observe, deduplicated to one row per company, job title and country, across 313 distinct sources, over a rolling 30-day window.
Deduplication
Repeat and re-posted advertisements collapse to a single row per (company, job title, country). Where several postings share that key, we keep the most complete one — the row that resolves to a named company with an industry, headcount and location — and break remaining ties by the most recent posting date. Note the key is country, not city: two postings for the same role in two cities of one country count once, and the same role in two countries counts twice.
Privacy floor
No published cell describes fewer than 5 distinct companies.
What it does not measure
  • Employment levels, hires, or separations. This is a posting-volume measure, not an establishment survey — it is not comparable to, and does not estimate, the figures BLS publishes.
  • Vacancies that are never posted online, filled internally, or filled through a network without a public advertisement.
  • Postings behind a login, a paywall, or an application flow we do not crawl.
