Method
Every day we count the open job ads we track, which come straight from company career pages and applicant-tracking systems, not from job boards or recruiters’ reposts. It covers roles located in Europe, by the ad’s main country; remote roles that name no country are left out. A role counts once however many cities it lists; the city table counts it in each listed city. Countries, job families and industries come from the ad and the employer’s profile.
The levels describe Evolc’s coverage, which grows as we add companies, so they are not a census of all jobs. Month-on-month change is therefore measured only on a same-company panel: companies with a snapshot at both month ends. Shares (salary stated, remote, hybrid) are shown only where at least 300 roles back them.
Monthly editions are frozen on the first day of the next month and never change. Data and charts are free to reuse under CC BY 4.0 with a link to this page.
