How does SoftwareCareers calculate visa sponsored job counts?
Counts include active, indexable SoftwareCareers jobs with employer-disclosed visaSponsorship metadata. Public datasets use the same inventory filter as SEO landing pages.
Where do salary rankings and disclosed averages come from?
Salary trends require explicit salaryMin/salaryMax on listings. Rankings use disclosed compensation samples from the verified job index—not third-party survey panels.
How often are SoftwareCareers datasets refreshed?
Rankings and reports refresh automatically via scheduled geo sync. Sponsorship and demand metrics are recomputed from the live job inventory on each refresh.
Are rankings based on surveys or live job inventory?
Rankings are based on SoftwareCareers live job inventory and disclosed listing fields. Editorial standards document how sponsorship signals are verified.
