Admin & Office : 18 days

Software Dev : 22 days

Retail & Hospitality: 33 days

Would love to understand why.

- few jobs, much supply = can afford to be picky to get the best

- not much difference between applicants = hire first that meets requirements

- switching costs are high = be picky

- high impact on team/culture = be picky

None of these explain the data.

From what I could see, big retailers have a lot of "evergreen" openings which makes sense as they can have multiple locations and there is a lot of churn. And there are obvious outlier sub-categories like warehouse workers etc which have median times <7d, I didn't break it down in the blog as it's too much data to present. But other than that, I don't have enough search data to draw meaningful conclusions. (say around supply/demand)

I worked for a company that kept one job posting open for more than 4 years. They've used it to hire more than 100 people, but unless you worked there you wouldn't know.

Interesting to hear this data point because everyone would just claim it was a sham job that some companies post to get a feel of the market.

I would not recommend the standard resume -> job portal -> application pipeline to anyone seriously looking for gainful employment. The signal:noise ratio is not in your favor. The current meta for tech jobs is an OSS portfolio, sponsored competitions, self-produced apps, and technical blogposts, roughly in that order. You will get much farther by solving real problems with public visibility.

If someone does that, how do they then convert it into a job?

happy to display that I'm clued-out, but what does 'meta' mean in this context? Clearly not the company, nor the general 'meta' modifier to something to describe qualifying criteria about it, like meta data for phone calls. it sounds closer to the term 'alpha' that investors use to describe competitive advantage (and even that term I wonder about).

cool dataset. one thing i'd love to see: distribution tails (p50/p90/p99 open days) split by remote vs onsite and by seniority keywords. also how are you handling reposts/refreshes (same role relisted) vs truly new openings? that can skew average open time a lot.

SDE jobs are usually deliberately kept open to satisfy the H1B/PERM testing. Most big tech company does it so they can hire H1Bs and in turn do day 1 PERM sponsor as an incentive for H1B hires
