Changelog

What changed, and when. Entries describe what is different for someone using the site — most of the work behind it is invisible, so most weeks this list is short.

October 22, 2026

  • The Privacy Policy now says what we store when you follow a company, and no longer mentions Google ads, since none run on Zeltru. /privacy
  • Edition No. 2 now leaves out 11 employers whose careers sites we could not read in the week before it measured, as its method describes, and names them. The corrections page records the figures it gave before. /corrections
  • Every job listing now has a "Report a problem" button. Pick what's wrong from a short list (a broken link, a job that's gone, a wrong date, location, company name or title) and it reaches us straight away, with no account or email needed. It replaces the old "Report an error" link to the contact page. The Privacy Policy says what a report stores: the reason, the listing and the page, and nothing about you.
  • Each Zeltru Report edition now offers its figures as a CSV file, exactly as the edition prints them, with the population each figure counts and a link to its section. The file's header points to the dated corrections, and the edition's dataset listing in search results offers the file. /reports/2026-10/figures.csv
  • The US job market page's comparison with 30 September now leaves out, on both sides, the employers whose job locations we began reading differently during the month. The corrections page records the figure it printed before. /corrections
  • The US job market page now says when we stop reading some employers' careers sites, how many postings that takes out of its count, and that the change is in our coverage, not in the job market. /us-job-market
  • Confirming a new account now opens a short welcome page that says what the account does, with a company search to follow companies, a link to start tracking an interview and a link to choose your emails. The companies you follow now show on your dashboard even before you save a job, and opening a confirmation link in a different browser shows a plain note that your email may already be confirmed, instead of an error.
  • U.S. Bank's page, renamed on October 13 from the holding company's SEC filing name to the name its own careers site uses, now has an address to match. The old address leads to the new one. /company/us-bank
  • The US job market page now says, under How we measure, that the nightly count is usually lowest on Sunday and Monday nights and recovers by midweek. /us-job-market
  • On 15, 16, 18, 20 and 21 October, and until 01:06 UTC on 22 October, the job board's totals, filter counts and location counts, its keyword search, the home page's count of postings tracked, and the US job market page's state map showed postings from two to four days earlier, while the listings themselves were current. They are current again. /jobs

October 19, 2026

  • On half of company pages, chosen by a fixed rule, the title and description shown in search results now give how many jobs the employer's own careers site lists, how many went up in the last 7 days and how many have been listed 30 days or longer, and the summary at the top of those pages states the same figures. The other half keep their current title and description, so the two can be compared.

October 14, 2026

  • Three company pages that were listed under a careers page's title were renamed on October 13 to the employer's name (Jamestown Regional Medical Center, The Denver Waldorf School and Valentino Hospitality), and now have addresses to match. The old addresses lead to the new ones. /company/valentino-hospitality
  • Four company pages moved to addresses that carry the employer's name: MadeiraMadeira, CompQsoft, Lactalis USA and Kelvin Group. Their old addresses, which came from careers-page titles, lead to the new ones. /company/lactalis-usa
  • On company pages, the answer to "Is it hiring?" no longer says "listed" twice: it reads, for example, "Dollar Tree's careers page listed 25,219 roles", where since October 12 it read "listed 25,219 listed roles".
  • The A to Z company directory pages now give their number of employers in the title, as in "Companies starting with G: 654 employers". The page for names starting with a digit is titled "0 to 9". /companies/g

October 12, 2026

  • Edition No. 2 now ends with a Questions section answering what people ask about job postings in September 2026, in the edition's own words and figures, and its search description names the month, the employers it covers and that its figures count postings in every country. Every figure in it is one the edition already prints. /reports/2026-10#questions
  • Page titles and search descriptions now write a range in words, as our editions do. The Greenhouse archive reads "2023 to 2024" throughout, its chart labels included ("0 to 1 day"), and the hiring-process answer gives its middle half as one figure to another.
  • Page titles and search descriptions no longer carry a dash that broke our writing rules: the homepage, the city job pages, the leaderboards, the job posting statistics page, company pages, the company directory, the answers pages, the about and terms pages.
  • A city's job postings page no longer answers "not found" when the city slips just under the 200 postings that put it in our list of locations. The page and its later pages stay up, and only leave our sitemap and location links until the city is back over the line. /jobs/locations
  • From the day a company page says we stopped reading the employer's careers board, it asks search engines not to index it and leaves our sitemap. The page stays up, with its links and the way to the employer's own careers site.
  • About 6,000 more employers now have pages, with the postings listed on their own careers sites. On the US job market page, October 12 is marked as the night we began reading them, so the jump in the count reads as a change in what we cover, not in the job market. /us-job-market
  • Our figures now say listed, never open: company pages count listed roles and listed postings, the industry comparisons count employers with five or more dated postings listed, and the rest of the site's counts, labels and explanations say the same. We measure how long a posting has been listed, not whether the job is open.
  • The how-long page's search description and the header of its data download no longer carry a dash that broke our writing rules. /how-long-do-job-postings-stay-open
  • Edition No. 1 of the Zeltru Report is now named August 2026, the month its figures describe, everywhere it appears: its citation line, the Brief, the corrections page and the summary we give AI assistants. /reports/2026-09
  • The September 2026 edition of the Zeltru Report now leaves out employers whose careers boards show us only part of their postings, on both sides of every comparison it makes, because on such a board a posting we stop seeing may still be listed. The page says how many boards that is and what the figures look like with them counted in. Its August-to-September comparison is now made the same way for both months and no longer says which way the month went. /corrections
  • The data each company page describes to search engines is now named for listed job postings, not open ones. Two other dataset names lost a dash that broke our writing rules, and the Brief's now names August 2026, the month it covers. The US job market page's breadcrumb now starts at Home, like every other page.
  • On the pages of employers whose careers boards let us read only part of their postings, the "at least" count is now the number of postings we read on that board's latest successful read, so it can no longer exceed what the board itself reports. /methodology
  • On the US job market page, on a night whose figures were rebuilt from our posting history, every answer that quotes a figure now says so in the answer itself, including the answers search engines show. /us-job-market
  • On the US job market page, the answer about new postings now carries the October 6 note, and on nights when the 7-day count includes a noted day or the figures were rebuilt, the search description leaves its figures out so they never appear without that context. /us-job-market
  • Both editions of The Zeltru Report now carry a line saying these figures cover postings in every country. Edition No. 2 adds that it does not separate them by country. Edition No. 1 points to the section that gives the United States share. No figure changed. /reports/2026-10
  • The US job market page's search description now leads with the month's figures, and its questions are asked the way people ask about the month: what the job market is like, how many new postings employers are adding, which companies have the most, and how long postings have been up. The answers are the page's own figures. A new line says the 7-day figure counts new postings, not hires. /us-job-market
  • On the US job market page, a night when we begin reading a large group of employers at once is now marked: the page says how many already-listed postings it added to the US count, and that the comparisons at employers we read on both nights leave them out, so the jump is not read as a change in the market. /us-job-market

October 11, 2026

  • When a page cannot load, its "Try again" button now reloads it. Since a framework update it had stopped doing anything.
  • The Privacy Policy now describes two daily counts Zeltru keeps for itself: how many visits arrived from a search engine, from an AI answer service or from somewhere else, and how many job-posting checks were run. Each is only a number per day, kept on public pages only, with no cookies and no IP addresses, page addresses, checked links or anything else about you stored. /privacy
  • Signing up or signing in now brings you back to the page you started on, including when you sign in to follow a company or save a role. The link in the confirmation email works on any device or browser, and a link that can't be used says what to do next. The sign-in page offers a clear way to create an account, sign-up problems are explained in plain words, the check-your-email screen shows the address the link was requested for, and both forms load and submit without JavaScript and keep what you type while the page finishes loading.
  • New page: PERM suspensions, a dated record of every PERM suspension the Department of Labor has announced in 2026, newest first, with who announced each one and its source. It sets out the named employers' PERM cases from the Department's own disclosure files and their US postings on their own careers sites. The company pages of the employers named link to it, and the Research page lists it. /perm-suspensions
  • Research is easier to find. A new Research page gathers every report, tracker, answer and method page by the question it answers, the top menu now links to it and to the US job market page, and every research page links back to it. /research
  • 669 more employers now carry an industry: their company pages show it, and they count in their industry's comparisons. Two employer names were corrected (Accendra Health, which runs Apria; GE HealthCare), and a duplicate listing for Florida Institute of Technology was removed.

October 10, 2026

  • Two labels on Figure 4 of The Zeltru Report, Edition No. 1 were cut off at the edge of the chart and now read in full. Display only: no figure, and no number, changed. /reports/2026-09

October 9, 2026

  • On the US job market page, the opening takeaways leave out the comparison with the month's start while a change to how we read employers' sites lies between the two nights. The comparison stays further down the page, with a note saying what changed. /us-job-market
  • On the US job market page, every comparison with the month's start now says when a change to how we read employers' sites added postings that were already listed to the US count. On October 8 a change to how we read job locations added 23,651. /us-job-market
  • On the US job market page, each day in the charts of new postings now shows how many of that day's postings carried the employer's own date and how many were bulk-dated. /us-job-market

October 8, 2026

  • On the US job market page, every sentence that calls October 6 the busiest day now says it includes about 8,300 re-posted roles. /us-job-market
  • A company's page now heads with its name followed by "careers and jobs" when we hold postings for it. Company pages and answer pages also tell search engines where they sit on the site (Home › Companies › the company, Home › Answers › the question), which search results can show.
  • Edition No. 1 of The Zeltru Report now reads in the same layout as Edition No. 2: the headline findings in cards at the top, and a contents list that stays beside the page as you scroll. Every figure, and every word about what the figures mean, is unchanged from the edition as published. /reports/2026-09
  • The US job market page has a map of US postings by state, shaded by postings per 1,000 jobs, using the Bureau of Labor Statistics' state payroll employment, or by postings in all. The postings with no single state (nationwide, remote, in several places, or with no state we can resolve) are counted beside it, and every state's figures are in a table. /us-job-market
  • The US job market page has new charts. New postings per day now cover the last 28 days, each day marked with the same weekday a week earlier. A week is drawn day by day against the week before, with weekday and weekend totals. A bar shows how much of the count sits with the 20 employers that list the most. /us-job-market
  • When we stop reading an employer's careers board, its company page now says so, with the date, and no longer shows that employer's postings as currently listed. It says when we last read the board and what the board listed then, and points to the employer's own careers site. The job posting checker, followed companies on your dashboard and the company cards on other pages do the same.
  • The job board's "Browse by location" list now shows the US postings that name no state, as "Nationwide, remote, multiple locations or unresolved", as jobs by location already does. /jobs
  • The Zeltru Report's first edition is now titled "US Job Market, August 2026: Job Posting Statistics", naming the month its figures describe instead of the month it was published, and its brief version is titled "US Job Market, August 2026: The Brief". The titles of both editions and the brief no longer end in "| Zeltru", in search results or when shared. /reports/2026-09
  • Two new answers: how to find when a job was first posted, and how to keep track of the jobs one company lists. /answers
  • If you're signed out, "Suggest a company" now takes you to sign in and then straight back to the suggestion form. /suggest
  • The answers pages' titles now fit in search results without being cut off: each is the question it answers, and its figures are in the description beneath it. /answers

October 7, 2026

  • The US job market page now says plainly when a night's figures have not been published, and its next-update line says so too. Jobs by location and the answer on which states have the most postings now show the US postings that name no state, as "Nationwide, remote, multiple locations or unresolved", and the locations page names Washington, DC and Puerto Rico apart from the 50 states. Our methodology now says that posting dates are not yet stored for most postings at employers we began reading on or after September 24. /methodology
  • The US job market page now notes that on October 6 one large employer re-posted about 8,300 existing roles under new listings, which count as new postings by our usual rules. The day is marked on the daily chart, and the busiest-day, weekly and past-7-days figures that include it carry the note. For a week from the night the employer's older listings stop being listed, the median and the share listed 30 days or longer on the homepage and Rankings carry a one-line note too. /us-job-market
  • The job posting checker has a new design, built for phones first. A result now shows the posting's age as "Listed N days", the employer's median and when we last read its board, with buttons to the employer's own listing and its other jobs. Paste a LinkedIn or other job-board link and the checker explains that we read employers' own careers pages, never opens the link, and offers a search by company and job title instead. Tracking tags such as utm_source come off the employer link it opens. /job-posting-checker
  • The summary at the top of company pages no longer says how many of an employer's postings are in the US. Postings whose listing records no country were counted as outside the US, so some US employers read "none of them in the US". The summary now gives the number of postings listed and nothing about where they are. The "Where is it hiring?" answer on the same pages no longer says none of an employer's postings are in the US, and where it gives a US count short of the total, it says "at least" that many.
  • Pages that rank postings by age now say "longest-listed" instead of "longest-open": their titles, headings, table columns and the links between them, the sentence on each company page that names its longest-listed role, and the answers pages. Zeltru measures how long a posting has been listed, not whether the job is still open. Page addresses are unchanged. /longest-open
  • The image shown when most Zeltru pages are shared now asks "How long do job postings stay listed?". The footer links now read "Longest-listed postings" and "Longest-listed by company", the rankings page's tab and sort menu read "Longest listed" and "Longest listed first", and the links on each company's longest-listed page read "listed" too, since Zeltru measures how long a posting has been listed, not whether the job is still open.
  • The Zeltru Report's second edition is now titled "US Job Market, September 2026: Job Posting Statistics", and its opening line reads "This is our analysis of September 2026's job market, built from our daily readings of employers' own careers pages." The night its figures were read, September 26, now sits beside its headline figures. The question "How is the job market right now?" moved to the title of the US job market page, which answers it with figures updated every night. /reports/2026-10
  • The industry comparison on company pages no longer slows the first visit after the site updates.
  • A new answer: how to tell whether a job listing came back as a new posting, how often a new posting with the same title and location follows one that came down, and what that can't tell you. /answers/how-to-tell-if-a-job-listing-was-reposted
  • The posting-age pages and the US job market page now each open with one sentence that gives the headline figure and names Zeltru as its source, so the figure can be quoted with its source attached. /job-posting-statistics
  • Company pages now begin with a short summary written from that employer's own figures: how many postings it lists, and how many in the US, how that count has moved since we began reading its board, how many of the postings in its age breakdown have been listed under 30 days, and how long half its dated postings have been listed. The chart of its postings over time is now open on the page. Where the employer's industry has at least 20 employers with five or more dated postings, the page sets the employer's median days listed and its share listed 90 days or longer beside the industry's medians, with a table of employers in the same industry of a similar size, and the 90-day card compares the employer with its industry instead of with every company we track. /company/adobe-inc
  • The US job market page now opens with two plain takeaways, shows the figures behind every comparison with the start of the month, and gives real dates and clock times, in Eastern and UTC, for its last and next update. Its 90-day figure says that it covers every country and how many of the 1,032 fixed employers it counts, and a note says September's page measured that share another way. Last week's change comes with the change on weekdays alone. The page and the methodology page now define "rebuilt", "careful figure", "bulk-dated", "completeness check" and "fixed panel" in one place, and the methodology page's definitions of "Listed N days" match how the site uses them. Every link to the page on how long job postings stay listed now carries that name, and the footer's Research link goes to the Zeltru Report, as the top menu's does. /us-job-market
  • Three new answers: why a job is still posted after you were rejected, how long a job posting should stay up, and which US states have the most job postings. Each opens with a dated figure and says what the figure can't tell you. /answers

October 6, 2026

  • Company pages that haven't been opened recently load faster.
  • The US job market page now has one permanent address that always shows the current month, so a link to it never goes out of date. Each month still gets its own page, fixed once the month ends. /us-job-market
  • A new page, "US job market, October 2026", updates every night with the month so far: how many US postings employers list on their own careers sites, what changed since the night before, a number of the day, the week so far, and every Monday a short write-up of the week. Each figure carries its date. A night that fails our completeness check keeps the previous figures, and the page says so. On November 1 the month is fixed for good, as September 2026 already is. /us-job-market/2026-10
  • The second edition of the monthly report now names September 2026 in its title, which is the month it measures. The title gave October, the month it was published, so a search result suggested the figures described October. /reports/2026-10
  • The monthly report and the research page are clearer about what they measured. A move between two like-for-like figures is described as a change in what the employers we hold fixed posted, and not as a reading of the wider job market. September is described as read from beginning to end with its last day still being counted, so its total will rise a little. The report explains that its completeness check counts a board as read once any outcome was recorded for it, while the figure beside it asks for a successful read, which is why the two can differ. It also says how far the frozen population of the first edition sits from the figure that edition published. And wording that implied we can say how long an employer has been trying to fill a role is gone: what we hold is how long a role has been advertised. /reports/2026-10
  • Pages now refresh at set times instead of every hour: at 13:05 and 17:05 UTC while the day's new postings are still arriving, once the day's batch has finished, and every night. A newly found posting can take up to about four hours to appear; every figure on every page still changes at the same moment.
  • The monthly report and the research page say more carefully what their figures cover. The share of the reading that is counted now names the set it belongs to. The check that sets aside employers we could not read is labelled as a check on the published figures, not a change to them. Postings dated in bulk are described as suspected. The levels named in job titles are given as a total. Both pages now give the same date for when the fixed group of employers was complete, and the link from the research page to the full table works again. /reports/2026-10
  • Company pages have new titles and descriptions in search results: "careers and jobs", how long each role has been posted, and how many job postings the page holds, read from the employer's own careers page.

October 1, 2026

  • In the monthly report, the chart of what job titles say about level now shows the nine levels on a scale of their own, so they can be read against each other. The share of titles naming no level, which is larger than all nine together and flattened them, is now stated in a line directly above the chart. /reports/2026-10
  • The monthly report has a fixed format, and Edition No. 2 is rebuilt in it: the month's findings first, then a plain-English Analysis of what the month shows, charts for postings per day, the year so far and industries, each with a short explanation beneath it, and the full method at the foot. A contents box jumps to any part, and each new chart says which reading of our database it comes from. No figure in the report has changed. /reports/2026-10
  • Corrections to published reports now live on one Corrections page, linked from every page's footer. Edition No. 1 reads as it was published, and each correction to it is listed there, dated, with a link to the part it concerns. /corrections
  • The Research page is now a summary of the Zeltru Report at a glance: September's main findings set beside August's, postings per day, the year so far, industries, how long postings have been listed and who is posting, each chart with a short plain explanation, and every edition. A contents box jumps to each part. /reports
  • The job board's "Last 7 days" and "Last 14 days" views no longer count a posting as new when the same employer took down a posting with the same title at the same location within the previous 60 days and put it back up, unless another posting like it was still up at the time or the two descriptions differ. /jobs
  • Where the site describes what it measures, it now says how long postings stay listed, not how long they stay open: on the About page, the answers pages, the methodology, the Rankings page and in the footer. We measure how long a posting has been listed on the employer's board, not whether the job is open. The question "How long do job postings stay open?" stays where a page answers it.
  • Searching the job board for a common word now waits a little longer before saying the search is too broad, so more of those searches return postings instead of asking you to narrow them. /jobs
  • Company posting-age figures now count only postings that carry a date published by the employer: on company pages, including the median across companies shown beside a company's own share, in each company's “% 90+ days” on Rankings, and in the longest-open lists. Postings without one no longer count toward a company's age mix, its share listed 90 days or longer or its oldest posting, so some companies' figures changed.
  • The Zeltru Report's front page now opens on the newest edition and lists every edition below it. Edition No. 1's one-page brief has its own address, linked from there and from Edition No. 1, and its notice pointing to Edition No. 2 now sits properly in the page. /reports
  • Company pages and the longest-listed ranking now describe a posting by how long it has been listed, not how long it has been “open”, in the titles you see in search results. We measure how long a posting stays on an employer’s board, which is not the same as whether it is still accepting applications.
  • Our second monthly report on how long job postings stay listed is published, covering every posting we could date on the night of 26 September, with the method and every exclusion written out beside the figures. /reports/2026-10

September 30, 2026

  • On Rankings, screen readers now announce the page links' "Prev" on the first page, and "Next" on the last, as unavailable, not only show them dimmed.
  • On phones, the small line above the home page's headline now wraps into two even lines, instead of leaving its last word alone on the second.
  • The methodology page now says where the homepage's figures sit: under the headline on a computer, and under the search on a phone.
  • The home page's search is now one slim bar. On a computer, the job and location fields sit side by side with the Search jobs button at the end. On a phone they stack as two compact fields above the button. The small WHAT and WHERE headings are gone and the fields' own hint text says what to type; screen readers still name each field.
  • On phones, the home page now shows the search right under the headline, with the figures below it, so the whole search box and its button fit on the first screen.
  • On an iPhone, tapping into Rankings' filters or the search at the top of the page no longer zooms the page in: on phones those fields now use larger text and are taller, easier to tap. On a computer they look as before. /leaderboard
  • The bar at the top of the page now stays in place as you scroll the home page and company pages, as it already did on the job board and Rankings. /
  • On phones, the menu and search buttons at the top of every page are larger, and they, the Zeltru name and a company page's interview-tracking button are all easier to tap. On a narrow screen that button's words now wrap onto two lines, so the menu button no longer runs off the edge of the screen.
  • Small grey text is easier to read: the footer's headings, legal links and copyright lines, and the notes, counts and labels on the home page, the job board, company pages and Rankings now meet the standard contrast for readable text.
  • On a phone, the home page's headline now takes three lines instead of four: its size follows the width of the screen, and “they've been posted.” stays together on one line. /
  • The figures near the top of the home page and Rankings keep their boxes but take less room. On phones each box now reads like it does on a computer, with the label, the number and the line under it starting on one edge. On a computer the boxes are thinner, and the lines under the figures wrap at the same word in every box.
  • On the home page, the headline starts closer to the top: the space above the small line “Every job from the employer's own careers page” is half what it was.
  • The home page's headline now says “See how long they've been posted” where it said “been open”.
  • A very long job title typed into a job search no longer pushes the location out of it: the title is shortened between words instead, and the place you typed is always searched. /jobs
  • The job board now opens with the same search bar as the home page: a job title, skill or company and a city, state or “remote”, already filled in with the search you are looking at. A new search keeps the date tab you were on and starts from the first page. /jobs
  • The job board's country, state and city lists now sit behind one Filters button under the search bar, which shows how many are applied and names them beside it. The United States appears once, by its short name, instead of as a cut-off name; on wider screens the country list has a row of its own, so long country names show in full; and the labels above the lists are no longer in small capitals. /jobs
  • With JavaScript turned off, the job board's search now works, and a location typed into the home page's search is now applied instead of ignored. /jobs
  • On Rankings, the posting-age filter now reads “Listed 90+ days”, and its options read “Any time listed” and “Listed 30+ days” to “Listed 90+ days”, matching how the rest of the site describes a posting's age. /leaderboard

September 29, 2026

  • Rankings now has a "Share this ranking" button above the list of postings, just under the filters, and above the company ranking. It shares the ranking you're looking at, with the filters you chose, and a line saying what it ranks. /leaderboard
  • A posting's age now reads "Listed 97 days", or "Listed today", everywhere a job is listed: company pages, the job board and its location pages, Rankings, and each company's longest-open postings. A posting's details show it as "Listed", the longest-listed posting on Rankings reads "97 days listed", a company page's summary says its median posting "has been listed 97 days" (or, for a company with one posting, "It has been listed 97 days"), the job posting checker says a posting "has been listed", the weekly posting-age rankings head that column "Listed", and the text the share buttons send on company pages and Rankings states a posting's age in those same words.
  • “How dates work” on the job board is now an open section at the bottom of the page, with nothing to tap. The note on when the search index was last updated sits under it in small type, rather than behind a “Search updated” line at the top. /jobs
  • Postings on the job board and its location pages now name their employer, including hospitals, universities, public bodies and newly added employers, which used to show no employer name and no “More jobs at” link. /jobs
  • On Rankings, the share button is now inside each posting's details, including the longest-open posting's card, and reads “Share company page” because the link it shares is the company's page on Zeltru, not the posting. /leaderboard
  • On phones, the footer's Terms of Service, Privacy Policy and Contact links now have full-size tap areas like the rest of the footer. A newly added company's page no longer says it has no tracked job postings while its first figures are still being computed; it says they are not computed yet.
  • The job board's line under its headline now reads “See how long each posting has been listed.” rather than repeating the headline, and a small line under the date tabs says that the last 7 and 14 days count the employer's own posting date. /jobs
  • Company job lists still open with 10 postings, and each “Show more” now reveals 20 at a time instead of 10, so a page of 50 takes two taps rather than four.
  • On company pages, you can now sort postings by newest or longest listed, and filter them by how long they've been listed: under 30 days, 30–89 days, or 90 days or longer. This works where the employer's job board gives posting dates.
  • The home page now shows three figures under the headline, the same ones Rankings opens with: postings tracked, the median time a posting has been listed, and the share listed 30 days or longer, each naming the postings it covers. They replace the line of counts that was there, and the share now appears once on the page rather than again beside the posting-age key. “Free to browse · no account needed” moved under the search box. /
  • Rankings now opens with three site-wide figures: postings tracked, the median time a posting has been listed, and the share listed 30 days or longer. Each names the postings it covers, and a note says they count every country while the lists below count US postings by default. The line under the page title no longer repeats a postings count. The methodology page now says which figures count every country. /leaderboard
  • On Rankings, clicking a posting's title now opens its details in place, as on company pages: the company, the location, the employer's posting date and how long it has been listed, with a link to view the posting on the employer's own site (it opens in a new tab), a link to more jobs at that company, a button to track it, and a way to report an error. The "Source" link has left the rows, and ages read "Listed 97 days" rather than "open 3 months". A posting without an employer's date reads "Posting date unavailable" instead of showing a dash. Posting ages on Rankings and on the weekly posting-age rankings now use the same colours as the rest of the site, so coral always means 90 days or longer. The card for the longest-open posting names the country you filtered to rather than always saying US. On the weekly posting-age rankings, a posting's title no longer links out; a separate link beside it opens the employer's posting. /leaderboard
  • Job titles on the job board, its location pages and each company's longest-open postings now open the same details as on company pages, instead of leaving for the employer's site. On the job board and location pages, the details also link to more jobs at that company. The posting date and the Watch button moved from the card into those details. /jobs
  • If you're not signed in, the buttons for tracking a job or an interview now say "Sign in to track this" and take you to sign in first, then straight on to your interview timeline. /interviews
  • On company pages, clicking a job's title now opens the posting's details in place instead of taking you straight to the employer's site. You'll see the location, the employer's posting date and how long it has been listed, with a link to view the posting on the employer's own site (it opens in a new tab) and a button to track it. A posting without an employer date says "Posting date unavailable". The home page's label above the search now reads "Every job from the employer's own careers page", since a job no longer jumps straight to the employer's site.
  • 294 more employers now have company pages, and their open postings appear on the job board. /companies
  • The small line above the home page's “Search jobs.” headline now sits close to it, like a label. On phones, the footer's Product and Learn links sit side by side with Company below, in less space, and every footer link now has a full-size tap area. The footer's description now reads “Tracking how long job postings stay open.” It no longer mentions what applicants experience when they apply, since the public report form has closed.
  • Correction: the job board no longer says it has no reposts. We have not built a way to detect a reposted job yet, so the board could not promise that. /jobs
  • The job board's introduction is now its headline and one short line, so the postings start higher on a phone. The rest of the explanation moved to a “How dates work” section below the list, and the search index note is one small “Search updated” line with the details a tap away. The date tabs now read “Last 7 days”, “Last 14 days” and “All live”. /jobs
  • Company job lists now open with 10 postings instead of 15, so the first screen on a phone is shorter. “Show 10 more on this page” reveals the rest 10 at a time, and each page of a company's list now holds 50 postings again.
  • The top navigation now reads Jobs, Rankings, Research and Check a job, on computers and in the phone menu.
  • Both Rankings lists now show 20 at a time, on phones and computers alike, with “Show more” for the rest of the page. The links to other pages appear once the rest is open, so in current browsers moving on never skips a rank you have not seen. The sign-in prompt now sits below the list, in a space kept for it from the start rather than added once the page knows you are signed out. /leaderboard
  • On computers, the job board and Rankings now use the same page width as company pages, so their lists and filters have more room. The Watch button on job listings, Rankings and company pages now keeps one size from the start, the size of “Sign in to watch”, instead of growing once the page knows whether you are signed in; if you are signed in, “+ Watch” is a little wider than before. And zeltru.com/rankings now opens Rankings. /jobs
  • Company pages now show the first letter of the company’s name on a coloured tile beside it, where most pages showed an empty square. The company directory uses the same tile in place of its two-letter green badge, so a company has one mark across the site, always in the same colour.
  • On company pages whose postings we track, the job list now opens with 15 postings and a “Show 15 more on this page” button, which reveals the rest of the page 15 at a time. Each page of a company's list now holds 45 postings, and the links to the next and previous pages appear once you have seen every posting on the page.
  • Pages for companies whose careers pages we don't yet read no longer name a posting-data source that feeds nothing on them. Their “Data source” line now says we are not reading that company's careers page yet.
  • Company pages no longer jump as they finish loading on phones. The follow button and the “Read more” link now hold their space from the start, so the text you are reading stays where it is.
  • The privacy policy now names Resend, the service that delivers account emails such as sign-up confirmations and password resets. /privacy
  • The September report's questions now match its answers: one asked what share of postings were "more than 90 days old" when the figure counts 90 days or longer, and another asked how long postings "stay open" when the report measures how long they stay listed. Its description in search results also names the right group for each figure — the median is taken over the postings carrying a date from the employer, not over every posting read. /reports/2026-09
  • Pages no longer say that Zeltru collects hiring experiences from applicants. The public report form closed on September 25, and applicant reports now live in each account's private interview timeline. The footer, the company directory's descriptions, an answers page and the sign-up and suggest-a-company pages were updated, along with the site's description for search engines.
  • Company pages now link to the job pages for the states and cities their listed postings name, and their industry links to every employer in it. In the rankings, the link from each posting to its employer now carries the employer's name.
  • Pages for companies whose careers pages we don't yet track no longer say that applicants' reports appear there, and the menu for flagging a company no longer offers a reason about report submissions. Applicant reports now live in the private interview timeline.
  • The leaderboard and the longest-open pages now say “90 days or longer” where they said “over 90 days” or “more than 90 days”. The figures have always included postings listed exactly 90 days. The badge on each leaderboard posting now names the site's three age bands. /leaderboard
  • The company page for Constructor loads again. It had been showing a server error instead of the page. /company/constructor
  • A very broad search on the job board, such as a single common word, now answers within seconds: when it matches more postings than we can list in time, the page says so and suggests adding a state, a city or a more specific word, instead of showing an error page after a ten-second wait.
  • The company pages for Exiger and Goodfish Group, which answered with an error page, now load. One of each employer's postings listed its location as a lone dash, and the page failed while formatting it.

September 28, 2026

  • Two company pages now carry the employer's proper name: Immuneering Corporation, which read "EQUAL OPPORTUNITY EMPLOYER Immuneering Corporation", and Westport Fuel Systems, which read "Westport".
  • The site's guide for AI assistants (llms.txt) now lists The Zeltru Report, every answers page, the job posting checker and the jobs-by-location pages. /llms.txt
  • The opening paragraph on company pages, and the page details read by search engines, now use the employer's everyday name as well, such as Northrop Grumman rather than "NORTHROP GRUMMAN CORP /DE/". The registered legal name is still listed in the company details.
  • Several employers appeared more than once, under a second careers board or a board that repeated their own listings: Latham & Watkins, American Family Insurance, Cloudbeds, Gymshark, The N2 Company, Career Team and EVG Specialty Network among them. Each now has a single company page, the other addresses redirect to it, and jobs that appeared on both boards are counted once.
  • Company pages' descriptions in search results are now short enough to show in full, and still say that the listings come from saved records, not a live check.
  • Company pages now use the employer's everyday name, such as Lowe's, everywhere a visitor reads it, including captions, section notes and the text shared from the page. Some of these still showed the registered legal name, such as "LOWES COMPANIES INC". The legal name is still listed in the company details when it differs.
  • On company pages, the answer to "Is it hiring?" now leads with the date and the count, as in "As of September 26, 2026, Dollar Tree's careers page listed 23,941 open roles", with the note that the count comes from our saved snapshot and can include roles since marked removed kept in the same sentence. The figures are unchanged. A line above the answers now says when the employer's board was last read.
  • Company pages now open with three answers: how many open roles the employer has, how long its postings stay open, and the share listed 90 days or longer. Its posting history, the ages of its open jobs and where it is hiring sit behind "See more analytics", followed by its newest jobs with their age and then every job, and its headquarters is labelled as such.
  • The live-postings chart on company pages now shows each night's reading when you hover over or tap a dot: the date, the count, and whether it was taken on the night or reconstructed afterwards. The table under the chart can now also list every nightly reading, not only one per month. Where an employer's careers board changed in a way the chart shows, a short note under the chart now says what changed and when.
  • The posting-age key on the home page now uses the same bands as the rest of the site: under 30 days, 30–89 days, and 90 days or longer. Coral means 90 days or longer everywhere.
  • You can now share your job search as an image: your applications, how many heard back, how many are still waiting and how many aren't moving forward, wide for links or tall for phones. It is made on your device, nothing is saved or sent unless you share it, and company names are left off unless you switch them on. /interviews
  • You can now import your applications from a spreadsheet on "Your job search". Download the template or use your own column names, and you'll see what will happen to every row before anything is saved: which will be added, which company to choose where two could match, and which rows are skipped and why. The file stays on your device, and columns such as job titles or notes are never sent. /interviews/import

September 27, 2026

  • Company pages for employers whose names already end in 's, such as Lowe's and Macy's, no longer print a doubled possessive like "Lowe's's careers page", in the page, its search description or its feed. Every sentence that puts a company's name in the possessive now writes it one way, so a name ending in s reads "Leidos' careers page" throughout, as the rest of the page already did.
  • Your interviews page is now "Your job search": how many of your applications heard back, are still waiting or are not moving forward, a diagram of where they went, and a list you can search, filter by status, sort and group by company. When you start a timeline you can now pick the exact posting from the company's current listings, so its title comes from the posting. /interviews
  • Your dashboard now shows how many interview timelines you keep and links straight to them, no longer links to the retired reviews page, and labels its site-wide figures for what they count: dated postings and the companies that have them. /dashboard
  • The top navigation now reads Jobs, Check a job, Rankings and Research. Check a job opens the job posting checker. Companies are a search away in the header, linked from every job card, and listed at the same address as before. /job-posting-checker
  • A new home page and top navigation. Search jobs by title, skill or company and by city, state or “remote” straight from the home page, with popular searches and a key to how long postings have been listed. The menu now reads Jobs, Companies, Rankings and Research. /
  • Vertex Pharmaceuticals' postings are back on its original company page, with the dates we first saw them. For two days they had been filed under a second record for the same employer, and that record's page address now redirects there.
  • Postings from Essentia Health, KION Group and Air Liquide that had gone missing from their company pages on September 26 are back, with the dates we first saw them. A processing error on our side had filed them under separate records for another careers site of the same employer.

September 26, 2026

  • Postings from fifteen employers, including Disney and ING, that went missing from their company pages on September 26 are back, with the dates we first saw them. A processing error on our side had filed them under duplicate records that were never published. The same correction restored those dates for GE HealthCare and Wells Fargo. Three employers now show their full names: Great Hearts America, State Employees' Credit Union and Nugget Markets.
  • GE HealthCare, T-Mobile, Wells Fargo and Vertex Pharmaceuticals each appeared as two separate companies. Each now has a single company page, and the other page's address redirects to it. Vertex Pharmaceuticals' page also no longer lists contract roles advertised through a staffing firm's portal.
  • The monthly "roles added" figures on company pages no longer count postings that were already listed and reappeared because of a processing error on our side. One employer's September figure was corrected from 66 to 9.
  • On company pages we ask search engines to index, the answers to "Is it hiring?", "How long do its postings stay open?" and "Where is it hiring?" are now also described to search engines as questions and answers, in exactly the words the page shows.
  • The "how long do postings stay open" paragraph on company pages now says, in the same sentence as its count, that the count leaves out likely evergreen listings, so it no longer reads as a second, smaller count of the company's open roles.
  • "Open roles" now counts every active posting on an employer's careers page, including continuous-hiring postings such as talent pools and per-diem pools, so a company page's count matches its Roles tab. Figures taken over a narrower set, such as the share of postings listed 90 days or longer and the longest-open role, now say what they leave out, and the rankings call their counts "roles counted". Employers whose postings are all continuous-hiring no longer read as having no open roles. A company page's opening paragraph no longer repeats what the answers below it say. /methodology now defines an open role. /methodology
  • A company's share of postings listed 90 days or longer now leaves out continuous-hiring postings, such as talent pools and per-diem pools, on its company page too, as the longest-open pages already did, so both use one definition. The median quoted beside it moved with it, to 15.7% on 26 September. /methodology
  • The Privacy Policy now says that Zeltru may show ads served by Google, that Google uses cookies to serve them, and where to turn off personalized ads from Google. No ads run on Zeltru today, and we still do not sell your personal information. /privacy
  • Company pages now answer the questions people search for: whether the company is hiring, how long its job postings stay open, and where it is hiring. The answers use only figures the page already shows, such as the open roles in our saved snapshot and how many have a United States location. The posting-age heading now uses the company's everyday name, as the page title does.
  • The median share quoted beside each company's own share of postings listed 90 days or longer is now taken over the same figure the company pages print. It had been taken over a closely related figure that leaves out continuous-hiring roles, so it read a little lower: 15.8% rather than 16.2% on 26 September. /methodology
  • Company pages for employers whose postings carry no posting dates now say so, "Posting dates aren't available for this employer yet", instead of leaving the sentence out.

September 25, 2026

  • A company's share of postings listed 90 days or longer is now shown only when at least five of its open postings carry an employer posting date, on company pages, their longest-open pages and the leaderboard. Below that the count is still shown, but no share: a company whose board publishes no dates used to read 0%. The median share it is compared with is now taken only over companies that meet the same bar, and the sentence says so. Taken over every company, it read 0%, because most boards publish no posting dates. /methodology
  • The five-postings rule for a company's median posting age now checks the same reading the median comes from. It used to check a count refreshed once a night, so a company whose postings changed during the day could briefly show a median over fewer than five of them, or lose one it qualified for. /methodology
  • A company's median posting age now follows one rule everywhere: it is shown only when the company has at least five open postings with an employer posting date, as our methodology says. Company pages, their Insights tab and search description, the companies you follow on your dashboard, and the job posting checker all apply it; before, some of them showed a median for companies with fewer. /methodology
  • The job board, its location pages and the company directory load faster: they are now served ready-built, and moving to the next page of the job board takes about a fifth of a second instead of nearly two. /jobs
  • The job posting checker now shows a company's median posting age only when the company has at least five open postings with an employer posting date, as our methodology says. Postings without a date no longer count toward that minimum. /job-posting-checker
  • New: the job posting checker. Paste a link to a job posting to see whether Zeltru tracks it, whether it was on the employer's public job board when Zeltru last read it, how long it has been open by the employer's own posting date, and the company's median posting age. It is free and needs no account, and the checker on the Answers pages is now this tool. /job-posting-checker
  • The Privacy Policy and Terms are now listed in the sitemap, dated by when each was last updated, so search engines can find the current versions. /privacy
  • Pages that described your interview timeline as visible only to you now say it is private to your account, which is what the Privacy Policy says. /interviews
  • The Privacy Policy and Terms now describe the interview timeline: what it stores, who can access it, how the question about including your answers in summaries works and how to change your answer, and how deleting a timeline works. They no longer describe the retired report form, and the Privacy Policy no longer describes a Meta advertising pixel, which the site does not load. /privacy
  • Filtered and searched rankings, company search and the job board load faster: a ranking filtered by country now takes about half as long as it did. /leaderboard
  • Applicant reports have moved to the private interview timeline, and the last of the old report statistics are gone. The Trending page, which ranked companies by report volume, now takes you to the leaderboard. The company directory no longer shows report counts or offers "most reported" and "no-response rate" sorting. Your account page and dashboard link to your interview timelines instead of listing old reports, the public company API no longer includes report statistics, and the homepage, About and Methodology pages now say where applicant reports went. /interviews
  • Pages load much faster: the homepage, company pages, the rankings and the A-Z lists are now served ready-built and refreshed within about an hour of new postings arriving. The rankings page is a fifth of its old size, and its company filter is now a type-to-search box. /leaderboard
  • Company pages no longer have the applicant-report statistics: the no-response rate, recruiter score, report counts and the "reports needed" progress bar. They came from the old report form, which has been replaced, so nothing could fill them any more. The tab they lived in is now "Your interview", where you can keep a private timeline. The report-submission API now answers every request with 410 Gone.
  • You can now keep a private timeline of your own interview process: what happened, when, and where it stands, with fixed answers and no free text. Link it to a posting we track to see whether that posting is still listed on the employer's job board and how long it has been up by the employer's own date. Only you can see your timeline. It replaces the old report form, whose questions mixed an offer with a next-round invitation and counted skipped answers as "no". /interviews
  • Pages no longer scroll sideways on a tablet or a narrow laptop window. Every page except the home page had a header a little wider than the screen between roughly 768 and 1000 pixels, which let the whole page drag left and right. At those widths the header's search box is now a magnifying-glass button that opens a full-width search field, the same way it already worked on a phone.

September 24, 2026

  • The live-postings charts of the employers added this week now reach back as far as 17 September instead of starting today, rebuilt from our nightly reads of their job boards and labelled as reconstructed on each chart.
  • Search results for Zeltru now show a shorter description that names the site rather than saying "we". The caveat about saved records moved out of the search snippet and stays on the pages themselves, where the figures it qualifies are in front of you.
  • The email signup on the homepage no longer shows an internal status line. It still says plainly that saving your preferences sends you nothing.
  • The website link on 53 company pages was corrected or added. Three pointed to a different company's website: Citizens Financial, Snap-on and FIS now link to their own.
  • The September report carries a correction: 27 of its postings — 0.006% — came from five job boards that turned out not to belong to the employers they were counted under. The published figures are unchanged, and the correction states exactly what moves: the counts fall by 27, and no percentage or percentile changes at all. The median time listed is still 28 days. /reports/2026-09
  • Four company pages were showing another employer's job postings, because the job board attached to them belonged to a different company with a similar name: Strategy, Axon Enterprise, Quanta Services and Zebra Technologies. Those postings have been removed from their pages. Zebra Technologies' own postings, which had been listed under a second page called “Zebra”, are now on the Zebra Technologies page, and the old address redirects there. Aon's page no longer lists a test posting.
  • Company pages now chart how many live postings each employer has had over time: one reading for each night its own job board was read in full, with daily, weekly, monthly and yearly views and a month-by-month table. Readings up to 23 September were reconstructed afterwards from our record of when each posting appeared and disappeared. Links to a company page now preview with its chart. Company pages with fewer than 10 live postings and a short history are no longer offered to search engines until they have more.

September 22, 2026

  • Companies we don’t publish, such as those still under review or outside the index’s scope, can no longer be read through the site’s data interface. One company page that still loaded although no listing linked to it now returns “not found”.
  • Edition No. 1’s correction about the day its ages are counted to now covers the whole edition. Every age figure in it, not only the ten longest-listed postings, was counted to 31 August, the day after the edition’s data date. An earlier wording said the age distribution was unaffected; it was affected. No figure changed. /reports/2026-09
  • New preview image for links to the site: it now asks the question the homepage asks, how long “open” jobs actually stay open. The browser-tab icon is now the Zeltru mark.
  • Revised language across the site to describe postings by how long they’ve been listed, not by inferred intent. Two answers pages have new names and addresses — the old addresses forward to them — and their explanations of what posting age can and can’t tell you are unchanged in substance. A question in Edition No. 1 was reworded under a dated correction; no figure changed. One earlier entry below was reworded to match. /answers
  • Pages that answer “how long do job postings stay open” no longer name the single oldest posting still open. That figure was the largest posting age we held, and on 17 September the largest came from a job board that publishes the date a posting record was created rather than the date the listing went up — and a listing being up does not tell anyone that applications are being read, which the sentence claimed. Median, quartile and distribution figures are unchanged. /how-long-do-job-postings-stay-open
  • Edition No. 1 carries three further dated corrections. The 95.6% date-coverage figure is a share of a population the edition stored but never showed, not of the tracked total printed beside it; against that total the same count is 94.8%. The ten longest-listed postings are counted to the day after the edition’s data date, making each one day larger. And the Lever correction now covers the platform table and the platform comparison, not only four named rows. No figure changed. /reports/2026-09

September 18, 2026

  • The homepage now shows companies tracked beside roles tracked again, each with its own date in UTC — when the roles were counted, and when the company figure was computed. The company figure was held back while its recomputation was stuck several days behind; that recomputation ran again on September 17. /

September 17, 2026

  • Edition No. 1 of the Zeltru Report carries a dated correction on both its full and brief versions. Four rows of its table of longest-listed postings, and the oldest-posting figure quoted beside it, come from a platform that publishes the date a posting record was created rather than the date the listing went up. No figure in the edition has changed — each is still exactly what the board reported when it was published — but what those particular numbers measure is now stated plainly. /reports/2026-09#s7
  • Job listings from one hiring platform no longer show a “days open” figure, because the date that platform publishes is not a posting date — it is the date the posting record was created, which can be years earlier and survives a listing being reused. One listing we showed as open 4,620 days was a record created in 2014; another, created in 2016, asks for candidates graduating in 2028. Those listings stay on the site with their links, marked as having no posting date, and the longest-open ranking has been rebuilt from the boards whose dates are real publication dates. A new page explains what we found. /answers/what-does-a-posting-date-mean
  • The longest-open ranking no longer fills up with standing job families — groups of five or more near-identical listings an employer keeps open at many locations at once, such as one restaurant operator’s 400 per-restaurant roles that had taken 67 of the top 100 places. These are still shown on each company’s own page under its long-running-listings toggle; they are just no longer ranked as if each were a single vacancy left open for years. /leaderboard
  • The methodology page now says which board each posting date comes from and what it means, including a limit we had not stated: on one platform the published date is the date a listing was FIRST published and it survives the listing being taken down and re-posted, so for about 5% of those listings the age counts from an earlier run rather than one unbroken stretch. /methodology
  • The homepage's list of longest-open postings now shows one posting per employer. It was six postings from two employers — three from one, three from the other — which read as a list about those two companies rather than a ranking. The posting at the top is unchanged, and the full ranking, where one employer can hold several of the top places, is unchanged too. /
  • Figures on the homepage that come from our once-a-day statistics layer now disappear while that layer is more than two days behind, instead of sitting next to a figure counted today. The share of postings listed 30, 60 and 90 days or longer, and the date those company statistics were computed, were five days old beside a posting count from this morning. They come back on their own when the layer refreshes, and they are still shown, with their dates, on the pages that explain them. /
  • The homepage is shorter. The email section no longer says the same thing twice before the sign-up, and the explanation of no-response rates, stage breakdowns and the five-report minimum — a feature with no data in it yet — is now one line instead of a paragraph and three cards. The rules themselves have not changed and are set out in full on the About page. /
  • The Privacy Policy and Terms of Service no longer describe a Zeltru mobile app. No Zeltru mobile app is available. The Privacy Policy said the service included one, described what it did and did not collect, and said you could delete your account in it; the Terms said the same about deletion. Both documents now say to email support@zeltru.com to delete your account, and each carries a dated correction note listing what was removed. /privacy
  • From September 10 to September 17, 2026, account deletion did not work, including deletions we carry out for people who email us. It works again as of September 17. If you tried to delete your account during that time and couldn't, email support@zeltru.com and we will delete it and confirm when it is done. /privacy
  • The homepage now shows the exact number of roles tracked under its opening sentence, the same count the sentence rounds, with the date in UTC when it was counted. If the count cannot be read, the figure is left out rather than shown as an estimate. /
  • Charts across the site now share one look. The posting-duration page’s bars are one colour with rounded ends, and its three headline shares each carry a small bar showing that share of the whole. On company pages the age-distribution bar steps from dark to bright green as postings get older, with larger legend counts; the posting-month chart has a baseline and larger month and value labels; and the added/removed bars keep their numbers on one line. Every figure, label and denominator is unchanged. /how-long-do-job-postings-stay-open
  • On your dashboard, the bar under each saved job is now twice as thick, shows the posting’s age in days at the end of the bar, and prints the p25, median and p75 tick values directly beneath it in larger type. A line above the list states all three values, how many tracked postings they come from, and that the bar is full at 120 days. The “postings listed” bars beside it match the new thickness. /dashboard
  • Saved jobs on your watchlist and dashboard now lead with how long it has been since you applied, in large type beside the date you entered. A saved job with no application date says “Applied date not set” instead of showing nothing, and every saved job has a button to set, change or clear the date in place. Dates later than today are no longer accepted. /watchlist
  • Search now matches keywords instead of an exact phrase. On the job board, every word you type must appear in the job title, the company name or the location, so “nurse houston” finds nursing jobs in Houston. Company search finds a company when every word appears in its name, in any order, and puts exact and starts-with matches first. If company search cannot run, the box now says so instead of reporting that no companies were found. The job board shows the date its search index was last updated: a posting added after that date is on the board but not yet in search results, and search totals can still count postings removed since. Every search result listed is checked as still live. /jobs
  • Edition No. 1 and its brief version no longer carry an email sign-up box headed “Get Edition No. 2 on October 1”. No edition emails are being sent, so the box promised something the site does not do. Edition No. 2 still publishes on the site on October 1, and email choices can still be saved on the email preferences page. No figure changed. /reports/2026-09

September 16, 2026

  • Edition No. 1, Section 3: this section’s defining sentence was removed and the section now links to Section 8. This addresses arrangement only. It resolves no other outstanding item and does not close this edition’s revision window. /reports/2026-09
  • Each employer now appears once in the company directory. Three employers were listed twice — Blue Cross NC, Horizon BCBS of New Jersey and Scouting America each appeared beside the same employer under its other name, and two rows reading “Scouting America” sat next to each other. The older row is no longer listed, in the directory or in its search; its address still leads to the employer's real profile. /companies
  • Later pages of a list no longer appear in search results as separate pages. Page 2 onward of Browse companies, of a company's longest-open postings and of a company's roles tab now each give their own address as the correct one and ask search engines not to list them, while still letting them follow every link on the page. Nothing on the pages changes: the numbering, the links and every saved address keep working exactly as before. /companies
  • Signing in now offers “Forgot password?”, with a reset link sent by email and a page to choose a new password, usable only within 15 minutes of opening the link. If a sign-up confirmation email never arrives, it can be requested again from the sign-up screen or the sign-in page. And a visitor who starts at the email preferences page is brought back to it after signing in or confirming an address. Creating an account still subscribes you to nothing: both email categories stay off until you switch them on. /login
  • Three employers were listed twice in the company directory, once under an older name. Blue Cross NC, Horizon BCBS of New Jersey and Scouting America each had a second, empty profile page that showed no job postings. Those addresses now lead to the employer's real profile instead of a blank one. /companies

September 15, 2026

  • The privacy policy no longer describes itself as an unreleased draft. Since 10 September 2026 the published policy opened with the line “Draft revision for local review: September 8, 2026. Not released.” That line was wrong: it was the policy in force, published on 10 September 2026. Its opening line now shows the date of this correction under “Last updated”. /privacy
  • A correction to the “How many applications does it take to get a job?” page, which said Zeltru holds “no applicant data whatsoever”. That was not true: Zeltru stores accounts and voluntary reports from applicants about their hiring experiences, and shows aggregate figures from those reports. What remains true, and what the page now says, is that the page itself uses no applicant data and that those reports cannot say how many applications a job takes. The original sentence is preserved as a comment in the site’s source code. /answers/how-many-applications-to-get-a-job
  • Report prompts no longer say a report “stays anonymous” or “fully anonymous”. Reports are published only as aggregate statistics and never with a name, email or profile, but they stay privately linked to the account that filed them, as the privacy policy explains. The privacy page’s search description, which promised disclosure “only through valid legal process”, now matches the policy it summarises. /privacy
  • The job-postings-by-location index now says “50 US states, Washington, DC” instead of “51 US states”. The District of Columbia was being counted as a state. /jobs/locations
  • New research report: Archived Greenhouse boards, 2023–2024. It looks at what a fixed panel of archived Greenhouse job boards recorded between sightings in the Internet Archive — coverage, the time between a posting's first and last recorded sighting, and what those records cannot tell you. It is a separate, dated series from The Zeltru Report: it does not measure posting age, is not a new edition, and its figures are frozen at the archive extract it was computed from. Individual postings and job boards are not named. A new Research page lists it. /research/archive-greenhouse-2023-2024

September 12, 2026

  • A gap in our daily record, stated rather than quietly filled. The site keeps one summary row per day; eight of the eleven days from 27 August to 11 September 2026 have no row. The cause was a scheduled job running outside our database, which stopped and which nothing was watching — the check that reports when a scheduled task goes quiet could only see tasks running inside it. That job now runs inside, where the check covers it, and it refuses to write on any day we did not finish reading the job boards. The missing days are NOT being reconstructed: the figures describe the state of the boards at the moment they are taken, so a row written now would carry today’s numbers under an old date. A visible gap is more honest than an invented row. /changelog
  • Role counts now exclude continuously-open postings everywhere, matching the age rankings. A talent pool or an all-shifts requisition stays open by design, so counting it as an open role measured a posting habit rather than unfilled work. On the leaderboard’s “Open roles” ranking 87 companies change — CVS Health 21,021 to 21,020, Northrop Grumman 3,912 to 3,910 — and Warburg Pincus leaves the US board entirely, its one US role being a continuously-open one. Across all companies 195 role counts and 124 over-90-day counts change. The top of both rankings is unchanged: Dollar Tree, CVS Health and Lowe’s still lead on open roles, and Aon, MSCI and The Trade Desk still lead on the 90-day share. /leaderboard
  • The leaderboard's “Oldest posting” ranking now excludes continuously-open roles — talent pools, float pools, all-shifts requisitions — the same way every other ranking on the site already did. Those roles stay open by design, so they accumulate age without it meaning anything. 18 companies change. The largest correction is a company that read 2,040 days and now reads 28. The top of the ranking does not move: the five longest-running US postings are the same five, in the same order. /leaderboard
  • The job-postings-by-location index now lists 233 cities. It had been showing states only, and saying there were no cities at all — not because none qualified, but because the page was asking the database for fifty answers at once and getting none of them back in time. Every one of those city pages already existed; nothing linked to them. /jobs/locations
  • The leaderboard and the longest-open pages now say which day's read they were built from, and how many of the boards we track that read actually reached. They are built from a saved read rather than a live one, and until now the pages said so without saying when — for four days in September they were showing figures from a read several days old with nothing on the page to reveal it. /leaderboard

September 11, 2026

  • The leaderboard's “Oldest posting” ranking now says it is US-scoped, the way its two neighbouring rankings already did. The number never counted postings outside the US, so a company whose longest-running role is abroad has always read lower here than on its own page. Nothing about the ranking changed — only the description, which was the half that was wrong. /leaderboard

September 10, 2026

  • A wording correction on the September edition: a footnote said postings were “checked daily”. Reads are attempted daily, but some days do not complete, and those days are listed on the methodology page. It now reads “re-read on a daily schedule”. No figure changed — only the claim about how often we look. /reports/2026-09
  • The September edition's Section 2 is back. Twenty figures — the ten longest-listed postings we name, and the ten ranked anonymously beside them — were removed from the edition on 9 September and are restored here with their original values unchanged. The edition's figures are frozen by design; that removal should not have happened, and the record of it is kept rather than quietly corrected. /reports/2026-09
  • Your reviews and saved application details stay private. You can see and delete your own reviews; removed-listing history is restricted to the operator. /reviews
  • The job-link checker now requires sign-in and checks current public listings. If a lookup cannot load, it tells you instead of treating the link as a missing listing. /answers
  • You can choose edition notifications and general updates independently, and unsubscribe from either or both. /email-preferences
  • When a company or job-board count cannot be loaded, it is marked unavailable instead of appearing as zero. Available listings and other figures stay visible, and company pages offer a way to try again. /jobs
  • When job listings are unavailable, Try again now reloads the board so it can recover when the problem clears. You can also return to the full board. /jobs

September 9, 2026

  • Company tabs now work with the arrow, Home and End keys, and keep the selected tab visible on smaller screens. /companies

September 3, 2026

  • The methodology page now states which postings each ranking leaves out — country, missing dates, continuous-hiring flags, bulk-dated groups, implausible dates, one per employer — and works through why the site's three different "oldest posting" figures differ while all being right. Every posting-year cohort view says the same beside its counts, and the four cohort views are listed in the sitemap with the date they were last recomputed. /methodology#exclusions
  • The job posting leaderboard can now be filtered by the year a posting was published: Posted 2026, Posted 2025, Posted 2024, and 2023 and earlier, beside the unchanged all-time view. Each cohort ranks active postings by days listed within that year's employer-published dates, one posting per employer, with the same flags and the same bulk-dated exclusion as the rest of the site, and states its population and employer count on the page. Cohort views have their own web address, so they can be shared. /leaderboard?posted=2025
  • The homepage card for the longest-open US posting now opens the leaderboard it comes from, where that posting sits at rank 1 with its dates, its flags and a link to the live listing; it used to jump straight to the employer's board. The report index's line about the oldest posting we track now opens the report's table of longest-listed postings for the same reason. Links to a live listing stay on the rows that carry the posting's own context. /leaderboard
  • A correction to today's earlier entry, which said three days had no complete read. Our own completeness check, which has graded every day's read since 18 August, grades six days as not complete: two had no fleet read at all (23 and 31 August), and on four (24, 26 and 28 August, and 1 September) every or nearly every board was read but the run's own record is incomplete. Figures now say so beside their window, in those two groups, and the methodology page lists each day with its cause. The earlier entry stands below as written. /methodology#missed-days
  • Three days in our record have no complete read of employer boards — 23 August, 31 August and 1 September — and they are now named beside every figure whose window spans them, with the cause of each on the methodology page. A posting that came down on one of those days was recorded on the next successful read; the days are listed rather than smoothed over. /methodology#missed-days
  • Site-wide figures now refresh only after a complete daily read of every board we track, and the "as of" date on the homepage is the date of that read rather than the following morning. On a day the read does not complete, the figures stay at the last complete read and carry its date, instead of being recomputed from a day nobody observed. /
  • The September report now ends with a short list of related questions — what a posting being taken down after an interview means, whether companies post jobs they do not intend to fill, and others — each linking to its own answer. They are questions the report itself does not measure, answered separately from the same data. /reports/2026-09

September 2, 2026

  • We found what caused the problem behind our removal-figures warning, and it was us. Some job postings had been stored under two different internal identities; in August we merged each pair into one record, keeping the earlier date so no history would be lost. That job was deliberate and correct in itself, and nobody connected it to the fact that rewriting the history of 100,000 records changes what every figure covering those weeks means. The warning page now says so, along with the two corrections it took us to get the measurement right. /how-we-checked
  • We said we track live postings from 1,166 employers' career sites. The true number is 1,163. The same sentence said those postings are read daily — for three of them that stopped being true on August 21, when we stopped tracking them but kept counting them. /reports/2026-09
  • A correction we published on September 1 was itself wrong. We said the two active-posting totals in Edition No. 1 — 503,503 and 503,499 — were one measurement read at two moments. They are not. They are two different columns of a single row recorded at a single instant, and the gap of four is the number of always-open postings. We withdraw the earlier explanation. /reports/2026-09
  • Edition No. 1's headline of 503,503 active postings includes 4,253 postings from three organisations we had already stopped publishing before press. The figure stays as printed, because the edition's numbers are frozen; the base it was drawn on is stated here instead. Drawn only from organisations we published, the count is 499,250. /reports/2026-09
  • Around press time, roughly 10,100 postings from 28 employers we publish went unobserved for between two and twelve days. One employer's board began refusing our reads on August 21 (855 postings). A database outage on September 1 blocked a night's reads for 26 more (about 9,200 postings). One employer's 4 postings went unread for nine days for reasons we have not established. Their postings aged in our figures without being re-checked. The published median is unchanged and p75 moves by one day, but the figures are not as fresh as the page implies, and this is the mechanism. /reports/2026-09
  • Three figures in Edition No. 1 — the share of postings carrying an employer-supplied date, and the two counts behind it — have no recorded derivation. We cannot reconstruct which postings they were computed over, so we cannot confirm them against the frozen file. The figures are unchanged and are flagged here rather than restated. One of the three, the count of 499,250, matches to the digit the published-only base stated above. We cannot confirm that is how it was computed, so the match is noted rather than claimed. /reports/2026-09
  • We added a warning to our removal figures for late July and August, and corrected it twice while getting the measurement right. On 10 and 11 August the stored records for 223 employers — about a quarter of the postings we track — were replaced, carrying history from before the record existed. Those employers account for well over half the removals we recorded in that period, so the removal accounting for the window rests partly on rewritten records. We could not work out which way that runs, so rather than publish a corrected count we cannot stand behind, the page says plainly what the limitation is. We now check for the same thing nightly. /how-we-checked

September 1, 2026

  • We now publish how often we get removals wrong. Checking 100 postings our data had marked as removed against the job boards themselves, 7 of the 92 that gave a clear answer were still live — 7.6%. At the scale of our most recent report that is roughly 14,100 postings, and it means we slightly understate how long postings stay open before coming down. We could not find a cause, and say so on the page rather than attributing it to a bug we had already fixed. /how-we-checked
  • A new page shows the results of an audit we ran on our own posting dates. We took 375 postings at random, published the list before checking any of them, then went to each employer's job board and compared the date it shows against ours. 96.3% of the long-open postings we could read matched the board exactly, to the day, and 92.4% of the postings we had marked as removed were confirmed gone. The page also lists every posting that did not match, what caused it, and three things the audit showed we had gotten wrong. /how-we-checked
  • Suggesting a company now offers the full list of industries. The dropdown had drifted to sixteen options and was missing several we already use — nonprofits, aerospace and defense, and automotive among them — so anyone suggesting a company in one of those had to pick something that was not quite right. It now offers twenty-four, including restaurants and food service, professional and business services, staffing and facilities, education, and government. /suggest
  • The Zeltru Report now carries a section on the wider labor market: payroll employment and the unemployment rate, job openings and turnover, and weekly unemployment claims, each with the federal release it came from, the date that release was published, and a link to it. None of those are our figures and none of them are mixed with ours — the section exists so both can be read side by side. The report’s own numbers are unchanged. /reports/2026-09
  • Five corrections to The Zeltru Report, listed on the report itself rather than applied quietly — no figure changed. The citation block now gives the date of the data (August 30) instead of the date it was counted; the unnamed longest-open table says which set it is drawn from, and the age it refers to is now printed; the geography section explains why its total is four postings below the headline; and two percentages that had lost their decimal have it back. The report promises its numbers will not be rewritten, which is exactly why corrections to everything around them are published in the open. /reports/2026-09
  • The email signup now says what it will actually send: an email when Edition No. 2 publishes on October 1, and an unsubscribe link in every message. It had promised mail “when the monthly report launches”, which had already happened, and a one-click unsubscribe that not every way we might send can carry. /reports
  • The Zeltru Report is published — a monthly read on how long job postings actually stay up, measured from employers’ own careers pages rather than from a survey. Edition No. 1 covers 476,618 dated openings across 1,037 employers: the median has been listed 28 days, and about one in five for 90 days or longer. Every figure is frozen at publication, so a number quoted from it stays quotable. /reports
  • Three employers joined the site with their openings already listed — Panera Bread with 2,732, Signet Jewelers with 2,633 and Concentrix with 1,510. Every one of those postings carries the date the employer published, read from their own careers site rather than estimated. /companies

August 26, 2026

  • The navigation link that said “Reports” now says “Share experience”, which is what it actually opens — the form for telling us about an application, not a page of published reports. /report
  • A company’s “longest-open role” now means the same thing everywhere on the site. Talent pools and always-open listings were counted on the company page but not in the rankings, so 38 companies showed two different answers. They are left out of both now, and the page says when one was left out.
  • Company pages no longer describe our comparison group as “S&P 500 and Nasdaq companies”. We track far more than that now — including employers outside the US and public-sector ones — so the sentence names the number it is actually measured over.
  • Palantir’s headquarters read Aventura, Florida — the address on its SEC filings rather than where it operates. It now reads Denver, Colorado.
  • Jobs in the US capital were showing as “D.C., WA” — the city and state swapped, and the wrong state. They now read “Washington, DC”, as do the eight other spellings employers use for it.
  • The “report an experience” page used to show a blank dark screen until its JavaScript finished loading — on a slow connection that could be several seconds of nothing. It now draws the header, the step bar and the company search box immediately, and the form becomes usable underneath them without anything moving on the page. /report
  • Several pages described the site in ways the data no longer supported. The trending page's search-result summary promised rankings “as submitted by job applicants” when no reports have been submitted yet; 85 company pages said their postings were dated from the employer's own careers page when those employers publish no dates at all; and the site was still describing itself as covering S&P 500 and Nasdaq companies, which stopped being the whole roster a long time ago. All corrected. /trending
  • The longest-open pages said roles had been posted “more than 90 days”. The count has always included roles at exactly 90, so they now read “90 days or longer”. Same postings, more accurate sentence. /longest-open
  • Red Lobster's careers page reports the same posting date for every job it lists — all 3,458 of them, to the millisecond. We had been treating that as a real date and saying those roles had been open 166 days. They now read as “listed N+ days”, counted from when we first saw them, which is all we actually know. The site's count of postings listed 90 days or longer drops by about 3,500 as a result. /company/red-lobster
  • A new answers section takes the questions job seekers actually search for — how long until you hear back, what it means when a posting is taken down after an interview, what it means when a posting stays up for months — and answers each one from the daily crawl, with the number in the first sentence and the denominator under it. Two of the pages say plainly that the question cannot be answered by anyone, including us, and show what can be measured instead. (Entry reworded on 22 September 2026, when the site stopped describing postings by inferred intent; what it records is unchanged.) /answers
  • You can now paste a job posting link and find out how long it has been listed, whether it is still up, and when it came down if it is not — without an account. It sits on every answers page. /answers
  • The site can now say how long postings last, not just how long the ones still up have been up. Half the postings we watched come down had been listed 22 days or less, and several thousand came back after disappearing. /answers/job-posting-taken-down-after-interview
  • The posting-age figures — the median on the homepage, the totals on the duration page and the longest-open lists — were counting about 4,250 postings from three employers whose profiles we had declined to publish. The same three had already been removed from the job rankings; the statistics pages were a separate door and are now closed too. The headline count drops accordingly; the median is unchanged. /how-long-do-job-postings-stay-open
  • The email box no longer says only “no spam”. Every message we ever send will carry a one-click unsubscribe, and the mechanism behind that promise is now actually in place. We still do not name a sending schedule, because nothing sends yet.

August 25, 2026

  • The job rankings were including about 4,200 postings from three employers whose profiles we had declined to publish — they never appeared near the top, so the only visible sign was a slightly overstated “N results”. They are gone from the listing and the count. Separately, about 730 US postings had no country recorded and were missing from every US-filtered view; they are back. /leaderboard
  • Two employers joined the site with their openings already listed — Columbia Bank, the Pacific Northwest bank, with 217, and Affirm with 208. Regence (Cambia Health Solutions), which had a page but no postings, now shows its 61: we had the company all along and had not yet found its careers page. /companies

August 21, 2026

  • Two employers now read properly in headings and links: “Stephens (Stephens Inc.)” is now Stephens Inc., and “Susquehanna Int’l Group (SIG)” is now Susquehanna International Group (SIG). The legal names on file are unchanged — this is only what the page calls them. /companies
  • Two company pages now say what else the employer is called: Pape-Dawson Engineers notes that its name is also written without the hyphen, and United Talent Agency notes that it is widely known as UTA. Only where it is true — we did not add the misspellings and run-together spellings people also search for. /company/pape-dawson-engineers
  • Correction. An earlier entry today said the pages for CVS Health, Dollar Tree, Lowe’s and Allied Universal “now say plainly” that their careers pages are too large for us to read in one pass. They do not yet — checked again today, all four still show no postings, which is the very thing that entry described as fixed. The wording is built and shipped; it appears on those pages once the record of the incomplete read it draws from is in place. The earlier entry is left standing rather than edited, because a changelog that quietly rewrites itself is worth less than one that shows where it was wrong. /changelog
  • Lowe’s page now lists its openings — close to 12,000 of them, with the dates Lowe’s itself gives, half of them listed 17 days or less. Its careers page had been too large for us to read in one pass, so we had never published a count for it at all. /company/lowes-companies-inc
  • On a company page, the button beside the tabs now reads “Share experience” instead of “Report”. It always opened the form for telling us what happened when you applied — but next to a named employer, “Report” read as reporting the page itself.
  • The link to a company’s posting feed was rendering off to the side, clear of everything around it. It now sits at the foot of the page with the other links, labelled with the company’s name.
  • Four company pages that were headed by an abbreviation now use the full name — GD Information Technology, Nanyang Technological University, Easter Seals Southern California and Royal Melbourne Institute of Technology. Their web addresses are unchanged, so any link or search result you already have still works.
  • A page listed as the employer “Georgia” has been removed, along with about 1,100 postings it carried. It was not one employer: the board behind it is the State of Georgia’s shared careers system, and the jobs belong to 55 separate public employers — the Department of Labor, half a dozen technical colleges, and so on. Showing them under one name told you the wrong thing about every one of them. Where a parent company posts jobs for its own subsidiaries, that stays as a single page; this was not that.
  • Correction. An entry on 20 August said the University of Rochester was among eighteen company pages that had started showing open roles. That was wrong when we published it: the page had already been declined on review, so it was never reachable. Its postings were removed from the job board on 21 August and are no longer counted anywhere on this site. /changelog
  • A few very large employers — CVS Health, Dollar Tree, Lowe’s and Allied Universal among them — had pages saying they had no open roles. They do; their careers pages are simply bigger than we can read in one pass, and we will not publish counts from a partial read. Those pages now say that plainly, with how far we got, instead of showing a zero we never measured.
  • The job board was listing postings from an employer whose company profile we had declined to publish — the page itself was not reachable, but its 1,359 openings were browsable and were counted in the site-wide posting total. The board now checks that we publish a company before listing its jobs, so the total on the home page fell by about 1,400 to reflect what is actually shown. /jobs
  • Eleven openings at Calix were appearing under IBM, whose own postings we do not track at all. Calix now has its own company page and IBM’s no longer shows jobs that were never theirs. /company/calix
  • Several published figures were being calculated from only part of the companies we track, and are now calculated from all of them. The clearest one: the “median across the companies we track” quoted on every company’s longest-open page was measured over 1,000 employers and said so; it covers 1,115 now, and the median moved with it. The company ranking on the leaderboard was drawing from the same short list. /methodology
  • Each company’s “longest-open postings” page now ends with six other companies whose oldest open posting is closest in age to that one’s. There are 490 of these pages and until now the only way to reach any of them was through its own company profile — they had no way of reaching each other. /longest-open
  • Every company page now ends with a “More companies” list — six other employers we track, picked by the job board they post on, how many postings they have open, and their name. Around 555 company pages had no way out to another company at all, because the only list they had was grouped by industry and their industry was blank. Now every one of them can be reached from a neighbouring page. /companies
  • A company’s link to its own website is now announced by name to screen readers — “Kroger official website” rather than the address read out character by character. It affects the roughly 790 company pages that carry one.
  • Pasting a job link into your watchlist now finds the posting. Links copied straight from a company’s careers page — the ones carrying the job title in the address, or tracking bits added by LinkedIn and other job boards — were being turned away as postings we didn’t have, even when we were tracking them and had checked that morning. Links from a company’s own careers domain now work too. /watchlist
  • When a pasted link genuinely isn’t in our latest daily check, the watchlist now says that, tells you when we last checked that employer, and offers to watch the job anyway — it attaches itself as soon as the posting turns up. It used to refuse, and blame the job for being too old or already gone. /watchlist
  • The “longest-open roles” page for each company no longer gets its title cut off in search results. It was running to about double the length a search engine shows.

August 20, 2026

  • Company page headings now use the name people actually write — “Northrop Grumman” rather than “NORTHROP GRUMMAN CORP /DE/”. The full legal entity is still on the page, now stated outright as its own line in the company details rather than shouted in the heading.
  • Company pages now open with more of what we actually know: how long half that employer's postings have been listed, dated to our last read, and how many carry a date from the last month. The heading says which company's job postings you are looking at.
  • Eighteen company pages that had been sitting empty now show their open roles — among them Walmart, Dollar Tree, Citigroup, Thermo Fisher, AdventHealth, SSM Health and the University of Rochester. They were always listed here; we had not found their job boards until now. /companies
  • Seventy of the largest employers we could find now have pages with live postings, including Lowe's, T-Mobile, U-Haul, Booz Allen Hamilton, Five Below, Meijer and CarMax. Twenty-two of those boards refuse to list more than 2,000 postings at once however many are open, so those pages read “at least 2,000” rather than a count. /companies
  • Three company pages that had been sitting empty — LMI, Wipfli and AmTrust Financial Services — now show their open roles. They were always listed here; we simply could not find their job boards until now. /companies
  • A hundred and forty more employers now have pages with live job postings, among them WinCo Foods, Duluth Trading, The Container Store, Old National Bank, Envoy Air, Stifel and Fred Hutchinson Cancer Center. Their boards do not publish a total, so each page reads as a floor: at least this many roles are open, and the real number may be higher. /companies
  • Forty more employers now have pages with live job postings — among them Ryder, Pediatrix, The Salvation Army, Planet Fitness, Natural Grocers, MV Transportation and Rural King. Their boards do not publish a total, so each page reads as a floor: at least this many roles are open, and the real number may be higher. /companies
  • Fourteen more employers now have pages with live job postings — among them Planet Fitness, Pet Supplies Plus, Rural King, SP Plus and Cellular Sales. Their boards do not publish a total, so each one reads as a floor: at least this many roles are open, and the real number may be higher. /companies
  • The methodology page now says exactly what “jobs tracked” means: postings currently listed on an employer's own board, counted one per posting, with postings that have since come down reported separately. Where a board will not list everything it holds, the figure is marked as a floor rather than quietly topped up with the board's own estimate. /methodology

  • When we cannot read an employer's job board any more, its postings now say what date we last read it and stop counting up in age, instead of quietly looking current. We do not mark them as taken down either — we did not see them come down, we stopped looking. /methodology
  • Eight employers' job boards refuse to list more than a set number of postings at once, however many are open. Those companies now read “at least 2,000 roles” rather than “2,000 roles”, and we no longer show when one of their postings came down — on a board like that, a posting can drop out of sight because newer ones pushed it past the limit, which is not the employer taking it down. /methodology
  • The methodology page now explains when a monthly report names a specific company: only when one of its postings passes 5,000 days listed, checked automatically when the report is taken rather than chosen by anyone. /methodology

  • You can now follow a company from its page. Your dashboard then shows its open postings, how long its listings usually stay up, and how many postings have first appeared on its board since you last looked. /dashboard
  • The Watch button now tells you when a role could not be saved, instead of showing “Watching” either way. If you have watched a role and later found it missing from your watchlist, this is why. /watchlist
  • The job posting statistics pages now update within minutes of the daily refresh instead of trailing it by up to a day, so they no longer show a smaller dataset than the homepage was already reporting. /how-long-do-job-postings-stay-open
  • Everywhere we report how long postings have been up, we now say it the same way — “listed 90 days or longer” rather than “open more than 90 days” — and the methodology page defines that sentence once for the whole site. The figures have not changed: a posting listed exactly 90 days was always counted, and the wording now says so. /methodology
  • The share of postings still open at 30, 60 and 90 days is now measured the same way everywhere on the site, so the homepage and your dashboard no longer quote it a fraction of a point apart.
  • Your dashboard now opens with what the tracker saw today — how many postings we follow, how long the median one stays listed, the share listed 30, 60 and 90 days or longer, and the companies sitting on this week's longest-open roles — whether or not you are watching anything yet. /dashboard
  • Each role you watch is now drawn against every posting we track, so you can see where its age sits among them rather than reading the number alone. /dashboard
  • Job postings now show when we last saw them on the employer's own site, and postings we no longer find say so with the date.
  • New page: job posting statistics — the median posting age, the share listed 90 days or longer, and how many companies those figures cover, each stated with the population it is measured over. /job-posting-statistics
  • Every company page now has a feed you can subscribe to.
  • This page. /changelog

August 17, 2026

  • Company pages now open by answering, in one sentence, how long that company's postings stay open — how many we track, how long the median has been listed, the oldest, and when we last checked. Companies we have no posting data for say nothing rather than guessing.
  • A company's figure and the site-wide median now appear side by side, without either being characterised.
  • Every company count now states which population it counts, and the methodology page explains the four different ones. /methodology
  • New page: how long job postings stay open, measured across everything we track, with the full distribution and an industry breakdown. /how-long-do-job-postings-stay-open
  • The longest-open ranking moved to a name that describes what it measures. Old links still work. /posting-age-leaderboard
  • Reporting an incorrect listing now carries the listing's title into the message, so you do not have to describe which one you meant.
  • The email signup no longer promises a weekly email or an unsubscribe link that does not exist yet.
  • Company pages no longer cut a company's name in half in search results. Long names now get a shorter title rather than a truncated one.
  • Page 2 and beyond of every listing now tells search engines what it actually is, instead of claiming to be page 1.

August 13, 2026

  • A watch control on every job-board card, next to the posting's age. /jobs
  • A dashboard showing what happened to the jobs you are watching.
  • Duplicate company entries awaiting a merge no longer appear in lists.

August 12, 2026

  • Each company's longest-open postings now have their own page.
  • Job postings are browsable by location. /jobs/locations
  • An A-Z company index, with numbered pages. /companies
  • A readable error page instead of a blank screen when something fails.

August 11, 2026

  • Homepage counts now come from live data. A posting count that had been wrong is gone.
  • Signing out is immediate.

August 10, 2026

  • Search job postings by title, and the company directory is paginated.
