# Open Career Index: free job postings snapshot (as of 2026-11-10)

A free snapshot of the Open Career Index, a compiled index of public job postings from company career pages. It is meant for research, prototypes, benchmarks and demos.

**This is a point-in-time snapshot as of 2026-11-10.** It will be stale by the time you read it: postings close, change or disappear. Check the posting URL before relying on any row. For fresh data see the end of this file.

## Files

| File | Description |
|---|---|
| `jobs-2026-11-10.jsonl.gz` | Full snapshot, gzipped JSON Lines, UTF-8, one posting per line (370,046 rows, about 12.5 MB compressed) |
| `sample-1000.csv` | Random sample of 1,000 rows as CSV (UTF-8 with BOM), same fields |
| `SHA256SUMS.txt` | Checksum of the `.jsonl.gz` file |

## Fields

| Field | Type | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| `company` | string | Company name as shown on its job board |
| `title` | string | Job title as posted |
| `location` | string | Location text as posted (free-form, not normalized; may be empty) |
| `remote` | boolean | Remote flag as reported by the ATS; not verified by us |
| `ats` | string | `greenhouse`, `ashby`, `lever` or `smartrecruiters` |
| `url` | string | Link to the posting on the employer's job board |
| `published_at` | string | ISO 8601 UTC publication date from the ATS (empty for 60 rows) |
| `first_seen_at` | string | ISO 8601 UTC time our crawler first saw the posting |

Row counts by ATS: Greenhouse 153,583; SmartRecruiters 148,376; Ashby 56,808; Lever 11,279. Companies (board names): 8,162.

## Method

- Source: the public job-board endpoints that Greenhouse, Ashby, Lever and SmartRecruiters offer for their customers' career pages. No logins, no private data.
- Deduplication: one row per ATS job id, and no repeated posting URL.
- Age cutoff: postings whose published date (or first-seen date if there is none) is older than 365 days before the snapshot date are dropped.
- Staffing boards: a short, hand-maintained list of known staffing agencies and job aggregators is excluded. The list is not exhaustive, so some staffing or reposted listings may remain.
- Only factual fields are kept. We scanned all fields for email addresses and phone-number patterns and found none, but we cannot guarantee that a free-text title or location never contains a personal detail.

## Not included

- Workday-hosted boards.
- Job descriptions, salary figures, department, employment type and any other free-text fields.
- Postings from ATS platforms other than the four listed above, so coverage is partial and biased toward companies that use these platforms.

## Known limitations

- Locations are not normalized; remote flags depend on how each employer filled them in.
- Some boards post the same role many times (one per location), which are separate rows.
- We do not verify that postings are still open or genuine.
