Frequently asked questions

Where does the salary data come from?

23.2 % of delisted ads reappear shortly after — the role wasn't filled. Reposts are the most honest signal for hard-to-fill profiles and fierce competition for the same candidates.

How are the competition signals created?

Our AI reads every ad and detects whether hiring is urgent, at scale or for growth. Staffing agencies and job boards are excluded so the signals describe the actual employer.
