How these insights are produced.

From career page to public statistic

1. The Recruitment Engine discovers public employer career pages and extracts possible job titles. Its Facebook publishing tables and filters are never read.
2. Source metadata is copied into the website database. Recruitment agencies, job boards and aggregators are excluded from public reporting.
3. The website applies its own versioned, editable all-IT taxonomy. It covers software, data and AI, infrastructure, cloud, networks, security, service desk, QA, databases, enterprise applications, architecture, product, UX, embedded systems and technology leadership.
4. Included records are normalised into job families, skills, locations, working arrangements, seniority and advertised salary fields.
5. Only UK records above the public confidence threshold contribute to the dashboards. Publishing a new taxonomy rebuilds the reporting projection without changing crawler data.

Definitions and limitations

• Observed job: a classified posting seen by the system, not a claim about the entire labour market.
• Currently observed: not subsequently seen as removed; it may still have been filled or withdrawn.
• New: first observed by this system, which may be later than the employer's publication date.
• Salary: an advertised numeric GBP amount; non-numeric descriptions are excluded.
• Location: the role's stated work location, not necessarily the employer's headquarters.
