Definition

Seat

One position within a requisition.

A single requisition can advertise several seats. Counting rules differ: some providers count the listing once, others count the seats.

The distinction matters most in high-volume hiring, where one listing can represent dozens of openings, and it is the main reason posting counts diverge from official vacancy statistics.
