How we compute this
Every figure on this page is computed directly from 301 active people & recruiting listings we’re currently tracking across 10 applicant-tracking systems, ingested from public job boards and refreshed every hour (this snapshot: July 2026). “Fully remote” and experience-level shares are computed only over listings that state a work model or level, since many don’t. We publish no estimated or modeled numbers — if we don’t have the data, we say so.
