Age counts days since the employer published the posting. Around a third of sources publish only a coarse date such as “30+ days ago”, so the older end of this distribution is less precise than the recent end. It is the most-cited signal that a role may not be actively filled — a signal, not a verdict.

Figures cover 3,559 postings collected from public company career pages and applicant tracking systems, last recomputed 2026-09-02. “Posted N days ago” counts from the date the employer published the listing, not from when we first saw it. A posting that has been up for months is a common sign it is not being actively filled — though a long-lived listing is a signal, not a verdict. How we measure this →
