Daily snapshot, August 21, 2026
A permanent archive of the observed tracked sample: postings tracked, recycled postings, boards, scores, industries, titles and requirement shares — data as of Aug 21, 2026. Every figure is an observed sample of the 13,536 postings we track; we never estimate the whole market.
Compiled Aug 21, 2026
This page is a permanent archive — it never changes after it is written, so the numbers here are exactly what the tracker observed for August 21, 2026. See the reports index for every archived period.

1 · The postings we track
| Status | Count | Share |
|---|---|---|
| Currently live | 12,759 | 94.3% |
| Live again after a relist | 58 | 0.4% |
| Currently removed | 777 | 5.7% |
| Tracked total | 13,536 | 100% of this sample |
A posting is "removed" when our last check of it returned gone. "Relisted" means we observed it taken down and later reappearing.
2 · Where the postings appeared
| Board | Postings | Share of sample |
|---|---|---|
| greenhouse | 7,142 | 52.8% |
| ashby | 5,054 | 37.3% |
| lever | 1,338 | 9.9% |
| web | 2 | 0% |
"web" = postings tracked directly on a company career page. We track Greenhouse, Ashby and Lever boards plus company career pages. LinkedIn and Indeed restrict automated access and are not tracked, and Workable careers pages expose no parseable public board (verified 2026-08-15), so Workable is not tracked either.
3 · Confidence score distribution (live postings)
| 0-20 | 0 | 0% |
| 21-40 | 0 | 0% |
| 41-60 | 3,926 | 30.8% |
| 61-80 | 1,365 | 10.7% |
| 81-100 | 7,468 | 58.5% |
Scores were recomputed at compile time for all currently-live tracked postings (higher = fewer ghost signals). A posting's score can change as it is watched longer.

Counts are summed across this period's 1 daily snapshot — a posting visible all period counts once per daily snapshot. Industry labels are our curated single-label classification, not a standard taxonomy. Unclassified: 2,573 — counted separately, not part of the rows above.

6 · Education & experience requirements
Requirement shares as of —, over the 6,900 postings whose description we could read — never over all postings.
Require a bachelor's degree
18.6%
1,284 of 6,900 read descriptions
Require a master's degree
3.6%
251 of 6,900 read descriptions
Require 5+ years of experience
28.9%
1,997 of 6,900 read descriptions
Requirement shares are computed over the live tracked postings whose description was actually read this cycle (descriptionPresent=true). A posting whose page could not be read is counted under fetch errors / not-yet-extracted — never as a zero.

Direction is the literal change vs the previous day — never a judgment. A rise or fall is not scored; the report only reports what changed.
8 · Provenance
Daily snapshot of the observed tracked sample (all dates UTC). Ghost-job metrics and score buckets are computed at compile time from stored observations; the score distribution is recomputed for all currently-live tracked postings.
- Every number is an observed sample: of the 13,536 postings we track. We never claim these figures describe all job postings.
- Companies appear only as a count (165 distinct companies in this sample). Everything we track per company is public on its company page.
- This archive is permanent: the page and its numbers never change after the period is written. Future periods get their own archive pages.
