Few roles showed pay at all: 596 of the 1,862 open roles at the end of Oct 27, 2026 did. Of the roles that showed pay, 474 posted an annual range with both ends, 118 gave pay for an hour, a month or another period than a year, and 4 gave no period.

Our records of the hiring boards cover 42 companies in 31 company groups, and a company that hires through a closed system such as Workday is not read, so a company missing from these figures is not a company without openings. We have read the boards since Sep 26, 2026, and a collector run began on 23 of the 32 days from then to the end of Oct 27, 2026; none began on Sep 27 to Sep 28, Sep 30 to Oct 5 and Oct 11. Our records count roles, not postings, and an open role is not a hire. A role family is our own keyword grouping of the English words in a title, not the company's department.42,43,44,45

- history of the boardsOur records of the hiring boards begin on Sep 26, 2026, when the first board was read (a board we added later counts from the day we first saw a posting on it): a role's age before then is not known. A collector run began on 23 of the 32 days from then to the end of Oct 27, 2026 (UTC). No collector run began on Sep 27 to Sep 28, Sep 30 to Oct 5, Oct 11, so a posting that opened and closed within those days is in no figure, and one that closed within them still counts as open until the first run after them.
