How Hiring Right Now collects and checks jobs

In plain words: where the jobs on this site come from, how we know a job is still open, and what each label and number means. Unfamiliar word? See the glossary.

Last updated Nov 14, 2026. This page explains where every number and label on the site comes from, so you can judge how far to trust it.

Where do the job listings come from?

From the public hiring feeds that companies publish through their applicant tracking systems. We read 783 company feeds every hour. We do not copy listings from other job boards and we do not accept anonymous submissions.

How do you know a job is still open?

A job stays listed as open only while it is present in the employer's feed. When it disappears from the feed, it is marked as closed the same day and moved to the archive. If a company's feed cannot be read on a given day, its jobs are left unchanged rather than closed by mistake.

How are salary, skills, perks and remote status detected?

Salary is shown only when the employer publishes a range. We read it from the pay field of the employer's hiring system or, failing that, from the posting text when a yearly range stands next to a word such as “salary” or “compensation”. Hourly and monthly figures are left out, and a salary written in an unusual way can be missed, so “not listed” on this site does not prove the employer hides it. Skills, perks such as visa sponsorship, seniority and employment type are read from the title and text of the posting by fixed rules, not guessed. A perk is listed only when the posting mentions it, and statements such as “we cannot sponsor visas” are excluded. Rules can miss or misread a posting, so confirm the details on the employer's page.

How are salary medians calculated?

From open roles that publish a yearly range in US dollars. For each role we take the midpoint of the range; the median is the middle value of those midpoints. A median is shown for a list or a company only when at least 15 of its roles publish a yearly range. Rankings and comparisons that set one group against another need 30. The salary tools, which also show the spread, need 20. These are advertised ranges, not what people are actually paid, and they lean towards companies and regions that publish pay.

Why is a job listed once when it is open in several cities?

Lists show a role once and add “+N more locations”. Each posting still has its own page. Counts on the site are counts of postings.
