How we measure
Measured on 5 November 2026. Every day Carisly collects vacancies from employers themselves: from their public applicant tracking systems and their own career pages. Staffing agencies, recruitment agencies, secondment firms and job boards are not included.
Pay: only amounts the employer states in the vacancy, never estimates. For a range we take the midpoint; amounts outside €1,500–€16,000 per month are left out.
“Open 30 days or more” counts from the employer's posting date, or otherwise from the day we first saw the vacancy.
The number of vacancies also grows with the number of employers we follow. Compare percentages and medians between months rather than totals.
