We index the same roles from company career sites, applicant-tracking systems and boards. Which platform a posting comes from changes three things we can measure: how long it stays listed, how often it states pay, and whether it tells us when it was published at all. Below is the league table — no ranking of employers, just what each platform's postings do.

Each platform reports a publish date and refreshes it on its own schedule. Workday postings median 12 days; lever postings median 101. We report what the source says and do not adjust it.
Some platforms do not expose a date at all. 47.76% of Workday postings arrive without one — we keep the posting, but leave it out of any age statistic.
No. It measures transparency and refresh behaviour, not employer quality. A high median age can mean a platform keeps evergreen requisitions, or simply that it dates postings honestly.
9.3% of postings appear on more than one board; we detect those and report the distinct role behind them.
Need a different cut? Every figure on this page comes from one index, so we can extract almost any slice on request — a city, a role, an industry, a time window, or a comparison between platforms. Tell us what you need at [email protected] and we will pull it, publish it with its method, and hand you the numbers. All we ask in return is a citation.
“Still listed” is a listing-age measure from the source publish date, not a verification that a role is open; link liveness is measured separately. The percentages are the September 2026 edition (full pass, measured 2026-09-15); the index counts are rebuilt by every nightly update, most recently 2026-09-20. Page generated 2026-09-21.
