How these insights are produced.

From public page to reported statistic

1. The Recruitment Engine discovers public careers and vacancy pages. A separately countable title requires a navigable job link or job-card evidence; raw crawler records remain unchanged for audit.
2. The website imports source metadata and applies enabled manual blocks plus the Engine domain classifier's effective exclusions. Disabled review candidates are not blocks. Likely aggregators are additionally withheld from employer-style rankings.
3. A versioned all-IT taxonomy classifies titles independently of the Engine's Facebook publishing data. A separate reportability gate rejects index headings, courses, prose and known occupation collisions.
4. Structured ATS fields are preferred. Otherwise, enrichment uses a compact title-centred role excerpt; an unstructured career-page index is never used as page-wide evidence for a role's location, skills or salary.
5. Only reportable UK records above the public confidence threshold contribute. Unknown locations, arrangements, employment types and salaries remain null and are excluded from field-specific percentage denominators.

Definitions and limitations

• Observed job: a reportable classified vacancy seen by this system, not an estimate of the entire labour market.
• Source domain: the domain from which a vacancy was observed; it is not a separately verified legal employer identity.
• Currently observed: not subsequently seen as removed. Source freshness varies, so this does not guarantee the vacancy remains open.
• New: first observed by this system, which may be later than publication.
• Salary: the midpoint of an active advert's numeric GBP range, reported separately by year, day or hour. Overall salary snapshots use annual figures only.
• Location and working arrangement: structured vacancy data or role-local evidence. No attributable value means unknown, not on-site.
• Trend: a durable daily snapshot. Comparisons are withheld until both ends of the stated window exist.
