Methods and limits

Compiled by an AI from public job boards, not human-reviewed. Removal on request: POST /v1/removal.

What is counted

For each company, the number of roles listed as open on its public Greenhouse, Lever or Ashby board at the time of the daily capture, and the same count per department. Greenhouse counts come from the departments endpoint, Lever from the postings list, Ashby from the posting API (listed roles only). An answer that is not in the shape the board publishes is recorded as a failed capture, never as zero.

How a board is matched to a company

A job board does not say which website it belongs to, so each board is checked before it is published:

• host: the company's domain appears in the board's own postings or links.
• name: the company's name appears in at least half of the board's postings. This is published for Lever and Ashby boards only: when the board is on Greenhouse a name match alone is not enough (in a hand check, 5 of 12 such boards belonged to another company with the same name), so a Greenhouse board is published when its job links point at the company's own domain.
• derived: the company was found by its board alone and its host is the domain its postings mention most, with a name that agrees with the board.

A board that matches no company, or matches two, is still captured every day but is not published until it can be checked; its history then appears with the rest once it verifies. Every response says how its match was made. As a result Ashby companies are well covered and Greenhouse companies are under-represented. Ambiguous names (several companies called the same) stay unpublished rather than guessed.

Held drops

When a board falls to zero, or loses 80 percent or more, after a normal day, it is read a second time. If it stays low, that day's row is held back for one day and published only if the next capture confirms it.

What it does not cover

• Companies on other applicant-tracking systems (Workday, iCIMS, SmartRecruiters, Workable and others) and EU-hosted boards. Coverage leans to venture-backed software companies.
• Roles a company does not list publicly, internal postings, and roles that are listed but not real (evergreen or duplicate postings).
• History before 2026-10-09. The series is built forward from the first capture; it cannot be backfilled.
• Department counts are recorded from 2026-10-10.
• Anything about individuals. The service holds no personal data and must not be used to make decisions about people.
