Longest-open jobs

Browse open roles by country, company, location, and title — counted from saved job-board records. Active status does not confirm a recent successful check. A “3 per company” sample keeps one large employer from filling the whole list; filter by company to see all of theirs.

Counts are temporarily unavailable.

Rebuilt from the read of Sep 17, 2026, which reached all 1,455 boards we track.

Posted 2026 · US · 248,309 active postings carry an employer-published date posted in 2026 · ranked by days listed, one posting per employer · 976 employers. Current public records, using employer posting dates; this ranking is separate from saved historical editions.

Leaves out: postings outside the US; postings with no employer-published date; flagged continuous-hiring postings; and 138,830 bulk-dated postings (50 or more from one employer on one date). Keeps implausible dates, badged by age. What each ranking leaves out →

Cohort ranking rebuilt Sep 17, 2026. It rebuilds after a qualifying daily read — one that reached every shard and left under 5% of the boards we track unread. Until 2026-09-12 it required a read of every board, which the fleet managed about twice a month, so the ranking could sit days behind without saying so.

Cohort views keep the current country and ignore the other filters. Back to all time and every filter →

Wondering what counts as a long time? How long job postings stay open measures the median and the full distribution across everything we track.

Methodology: roles are counted from each company's own job board and dated by the posting date that board publishes. Saved active records can persist during collection gaps. Current public listings show “Posting date unavailable” when no employer date is available. A “listed N+ days” duration is a retained historical or saved-record minimum; it does not supply private observation dates to current public cards. Postings can remain open for many legitimate reasons — for example, evergreen requisitions, high-volume or continuous hiring, backfills, or slow internal processes. These are counts and durations only.

Postings that match known continuous-hiring patterns — per-diem/PRN and float pools, freelance rosters, talent pools, all-shifts requisitions, and postings an employer labels “evergreen” — are excluded from rankings and counts, since they stay open by design rather than going unfilled. They remain on each company's own page, and you can show them here with the “Include evergreen/pipeline postings” toggle.
