Hiring Quality Index

Know more before you apply.

The Hiring Quality Index summarises signals on a listing — clearly separating facts from estimates — so you spend your time on roles that are genuinely open.

Facts vs. estimates

We show which signals are facts and which are estimates.

Factual signals

  • Apply link status
  • Job posting date
  • Reposting behavior
  • Source availability
  • Employer activity where available

Inferred signals (estimates)

  • Possible reduced activity
  • Possible role closure
  • Estimated response likelihood (where implemented)

Inferred signals are estimates and are labelled as such — never presented as certainty. A role is never marked closed with certainty unless it is verified.

Three similar jobs. Very different signals.

Same title, same look — but not the same opportunity.

Data timestamp & limitations

Signals are guidance, not a guarantee.

Signals reflect US sources and salary-format conventions, and are guidance — confirm details with the employer.

Apply where it counts.
