How we count
Every live advert TUNAI reads from employers’ own job boards and public job sites, counted once when the same job appears twice. Recounted every night; a number on this page changes only when the count behind it does, and a figure resting on too few adverts is left out rather than shown. The numbers are free to reuse with a link to this page (CSV, CC BY 4.0). Read the full methodology.
