Key findings
- 1
6 of 7 quantities counted by two independent routes match exactly; the others differ by n/a, for the reasons given under the figure.
- 2
Of the roles open on 31 Oct 2026, null% state an hourly rate, null% carry a location rule, null% have a full description and null% an application form that was read.
Figure 1
The same numbers, counted two ways
Do independent counts of the same quantity agree?
| Quantity | From the role facts | From the second route | Agreement |
|---|---|---|---|
| Open roles at the end of 31 Oct 2026 | 0 | 0 | Match |
| Open roles at the start of 1 Oct 2026 | 0 | 0 | Match |
| New listings in the window | 0 | 0 | Match |
| Removed listings in the window | 0 | 0 | Match |
| Open role-days in the window | 0 | 0 | Match |
| Apply clicks on roles listed in the window | 0 | 0 | Match |
| Recorded daily snapshot against rebuilt history | n/a | n/a | n/a |
Sample. Every role listed from 1 Oct 2026 to 31 Oct 2026.
First route: the role facts behind every report on listings, counted in the app. Second route: database queries written separately (a hiring reader kept for this check, and the applicant report's), and for the last line the snapshot recorded that morning.
New listings and removals are compared as read: the second route does not know when this site changed how it reads a board, so the roles that came into or left view with such a change are added back to the first route's counts for this check (the reports leave them out).
Apply clicks can differ slightly: the second route also counts clicks on a role after it left its feed (from a page opened earlier).
The snapshot line can differ when a role was merged as a duplicate or reclassified after the day it was recorded.

When each platform's job board was last read
How fresh is the data behind these reports?
No data in this window.
Sample. The 0 platforms with open roles at the end of 31 Oct 2026.
Each job board is read in full every hour. 'Last read' is the latest time a role of that platform was confirmed in its feed.

Figure 3
How completely each platform's postings are described
Which facts does each platform's job board publish for its roles?
| Platform | Hourly rate | Posting date | Location rule | Full description | Application form |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| All platforms | n/a | n/a | n/a | n/a | n/a |
Sample. 0 roles open at the end of 31 Oct 2026; shares of each platform's own open roles.
Hourly rate: the posting states one. Posting date: the job board gives one. Location rule: read from the posting or from what the platform states about where it hires. Description and application form: published by the platform's applicant-tracking system and read for the role.
No row with any open roles is a small sample: the rows differ so much that each reads on its own from its first.

How the click and visit records are cleaned
How much automated and outside traffic is set aside before counting?
| Record | Events | Share |
|---|---|---|
| Apply clicks by people on this site (counted) | 0 | n/a |
| Apply clicks set aside as automated | 0 | n/a |
| Apply clicks on other sites sharing the log (left out) | 0 | n/a |
| Counted clicks made on a specific role | 0 | n/a |
| Page views by people (counted) | 0 | n/a |
| Page views set aside as automated | 0 | n/a |
Sample. Events recorded from 1 Oct 2026 to 31 Oct 2026.
Automated traffic (self-identifying crawlers, headless browsers, clients with no user agent) is marked as each event is recorded and never counted.

Figure 5
What postings advertise against what platforms publish
Do the rates in a platform's own job postings fall inside the pay range it publishes about itself?
No data in this window.
Sample. Platforms with at least 3 open roles stating an hourly rate on 31 Oct 2026, and an hourly range on their AITraining.jobs page.
The published range is the one compiled from each platform's own pages, help centre and job posts and shown on its platform page here, with its sources.

The dataset's record
How long has the data been collected, and how complete is the daily record?
| Measure | Value |
|---|---|
| Roles tracked since | n/a |
| Roles ever tracked (open or closed) | 0 |
| Platforms with open roles | 0 |
| Daily market snapshots recorded since | n/a |
| Snapshots recorded | 0 |
| Snapshots in this window (31 days) | 0 |
Sample. The whole dataset, read on 31 Oct 2026.
Closed roles are kept, never deleted, so any past day can be rebuilt; the daily snapshots record each day as it was measured.

For labs, data vendors and researchers
Buy the data behind this report
The figures above are a summary. Behind them are records we collect ourselves, every day:
0 roles tracked, each with its history
Every role on 0 job boards, read since n/a (every hour since 18 Oct 2026): its pay and place, and the first and last day it was open.
0 apply clicks in 28 days
Which roles people actually apply to, by field, pay and kind of work. It happens on this site, so nobody else can count it.
39 lab and vendor hiring boards
The job boards of 25 AI labs and 14 human-data vendors, read every day: who is hiring for human data, and who is hiring to buy it.

Method and definitions
The job-board feeds, the click and visit records, the daily snapshots and the platform pages of this site. Every figure is computed by one database query over the window shown, the same query for the live report and for every edition. Each figure states its sample beneath it.
- Independent routes
- The role facts counted in the app, the database queries behind the hiring and applicant reports, and the daily snapshots recorded at the time.
- Published range
- The pay range compiled from a platform's own pages and shown, with sources, on its page on this site.
- Open role
- A role listed by a given day and still in its platform's feed that day.
- Window
- Live: the last 28 complete days, in UTC. Edition: one calendar month, in UTC.
What this data cannot tell you
- A check can only compare what both routes measure; a definition shared by both is not checked by their agreement.
How the job feeds are read and roles are classified: site methodology. How fresh, complete and consistent the data is, checked every day: data quality and coverage.
Editions
The live report covers the last 28 complete days and changes every day. Each complete month is also published as an edition, frozen two days after the month ends, so a figure you cite from an edition never moves.
