How AI Training Applications Work

Method and definitions

The application forms of open roles, read from the platforms' own applicant-tracking systems (Greenhouse, Ashby, Lever, Workable and others). 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.

Application form

The fields an applicant fills in on the platform's own application page, read with the posting from its applicant-tracking system.

Required

The form will not submit without the field.

Screening question

A question the platform adds beyond the system's standard fields; its theme is read from its label with documented patterns.

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

• Platforms that recruit without a public job board are not counted. Several large ones invite workers to projects directly.
• A listing is not a hire. Some platforms keep evergreen roles open for months, and some post one listing per language or country.
• Some platforms apply in steps (a short form, then an assessment); only the first form is read.

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.
