Frequently asked
Why does listing age differ so much between countries?
It tracks how each market uses its boards: reposting and long-open requisitions are more common in some countries. We report the measured difference, not the cause.
Which countries are shown?
The eight with the most postings in our index. Postings that name no country are excluded from this table.
Is listing age the same as the role being open?
No. It is the age of the posting as the source reports it. Link liveness is probed separately.

“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 October 2026 edition (full pass, measured 2026-10-06); the index counts are rebuilt by every nightly update, most recently 2026-11-06. Page generated 2026-11-06.
