What is in your results

A read on the whole result set: who is hiring, the skills it asks for, the roles on offer, and what they pay.

On a wide screen, the right-hand pane shows a read on the whole result set until you open a job. Once a job is open, a one-line summary of the set stays above it.

  • The heading is your search, and under it a sentence says who is hiring the most and what the listings ask for.
  • What they ask for: the skills named most often across the set, darker for more. The percentage is a share of the listings that name any skill, and the line above says how many that is, because roughly half do not.
  • Who is hiring: employers with more than one opening in this set.
  • What they are hiring for: job titles that more than one employer is advertising.
  • Pay: the median and the middle half across the listings that state a figure, in the currency most of them use. It says how few of the listings that is, and prints no figure when there are too few.
  • More breakdowns: how the work is done (remote, hybrid, on-site) and how fresh the listings are, each with a row for the ones that did not say; the pay distribution; and how many name a contract type, hours or an experience level, as a count rather than a chart, because most do not.

Most rows are also filters: click one to narrow the results to it. The count beside an option is what you will be left with, with your other filters still applied. The "not stated" rows are there to be read, not clicked.

On a phone there is no side pane. The one-line summary sits above the list instead, and the filter rail carries the decisions worth making on a small screen.

Where it stops

The counts only appear once a search has settled. While boards are still answering, the totals move on every arrival, and numbers that crawl under the cursor are worse than no numbers. Most listings do not state their contract type, hours or seniority, so those counts are small next to your total.
