How this data is collected
SuperStack reads public technology listings from job boards and careers pages, and refreshes the set about once a week. New listings are added. Listings that are no longer open are marked closed. This page publishes the counts from that refresh. It does not publish the listings themselves.
A listing is live when it has been seen and has not been marked closed. New this week is the first time it was seen. Closed this week is when it was marked closed. Tracked is every public technology listing in the set, including ones that have since closed. Tender notices, placeholders and duplicate copies of the same role are left out. A rate is shown only when the listing published one, as rand per hour.
Names, email addresses, notes and shortlists are not published. These are listing counts, not a census of every vacancy in South Africa. The page is rebuilt at least daily, and again when the weekly refresh finishes.
