Longest-listed jobs

Wondering what counts as a long time? How long job postings stay listed 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 stay listed 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 listed 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.
