Step 1) Gather job & company data

I queried our active job listings and selected the most recent job posting from each of 22,346 companies. Here is the distribution of company sizes:

* Job listing / company data sourced from UnlistedJobs

Here is the Google search query (as entered): [Job Title] + [Company Name] —and repeated for each job.

* Google SERPs (Search Engine Results Page) were collected using DataForSEO's API.

I only want direct links to job listings, so other search results were excluded.

Lever, Greenhouse, etc. don't have searchable job boards so they were skipped.

After querying first-page Google results for 22,346 job postings, here are the top domains:

LinkedIn • Professional networking (49.7%, 11,106)
✘ NO SEARCH RESULTS ✘ (26.3%, 5,877)
ZipRecruiter • Job aggregator (19.5%, 4,361)
Indeed • Job search engine (19.4%, 4,341)
Glassdoor • Jobs, reviews & salaries (12.7%, 2,842)
Built In • Tech / startup job board (8.2%, 1,830)
Remote Rocketship • Remote jobs (5.8%, 1,306)
Jobright • AI job matching (4.9%, 1,099)
Talent.com • Global job aggregator (4.9%, 1,088)
Ladders • $100k+ exec job board (4.3%, 959)
beBee • Professional network jobs (3.5%, 776)
Lensa • AI job search (2.2%, 485)
Startup Jobs • Jobs at startups (2.0%, 435)
Himalayas.app • Top remote jobs (1.9%, 426)
Jooble • Job aggregator, 60+ countries (1.3%, 280)

Roughly two-thirds of all job postings can be found on at least one of the major job boards (LinkedIn, Indeed, ZipRecruiter, or Glassdoor).

More than 1 in 4 jobs are not listed on any job boards.
