How the numbers are made
Every listing comes straight from the employer's career page or an official job feed, never from another job board. Our pipeline reads the language of the ad text itself, so “ad in English” means the advertisement is written in English, not that the company would accept an English CV. Junior-friendly means we found no demand for years of experience in the ad. A listing that disappears at the source is removed the same day, and the counts above are recomputed every night; the page you are reading shows the state at 9 November 2026. The comparison counts only what we track, and we track some countries more completely than others, so use the shares, not the totals, when comparing countries. How we verify jobs has the details.
