Results and sources
Reading a listing, where it came from, and why pay looks the way it does.
- Reading a listingThe full description, the skills we pulled out of it, where it came from, and a direct link to the employer's own posting.
- What is in your resultsA read on the whole result set: the skills it asks for, who is hiring, the shape of the roles, and what they pay.
- Why the same job appears onceA role carried by several boards collapses into one row that names the others, and the employer's own link wins where there is one.
- Where results come from29 named job boards and aggregators, plus openings pulled straight from companies' own careers pages.
- Why so many listings show no payBecause the employer did not state any. We show pay as it was quoted and drop anything we cannot vouch for, rather than guessing.
- What a pay estimate isWhere the employer stated nothing, we sometimes show what comparable postings paid, on a deliberately different-looking card.
- Salary insightsWhen at least 30 listings state pay, the results summary shows the median and middle range, and how many listings it is based on.
- Whether a posting is still openWe spot-check listings against the board that carried them and remove the ones that answer as gone. Most rows have not been checked, and say nothing.
- How fresh the results areThere is no single refresh interval. Popular searches are refreshed far more often than obscure ones, and running one again makes it fresher.
- When a job board failsOne source failing does not fail the search. The others still answer, and the failure is recorded rather than hidden.
- Can a company pay to appear higher in my results?No. Results are ordered by how well they match your words, ties broken by recency, and the ranking has no field for anything else.
