Data Freshness & Update Frequency

Real-Time Job Data Updates

At TheirStack, we maintain a sophisticated job scraping system that ensures you have access to the most current job postings. Our multi-tiered approach to data collection means you never miss out on relevant positions.

Job Scraping Frequency

We use different scraping frequencies based on the source and volume of job postings:

• Every 10 Minutes: High-volume job boards and frequently updated company career pages
• Every Hour: Medium-traffic job sources with regular updates
• Daily: Smaller job boards and company websites with lower posting frequency

This tiered approach ensures that within 24 hours, we capture approximately 90% of all new tech job postings across our monitored sources.

Job Discovery Timeline

The following visualization shows when we discover jobs posted on a specific date (April 24th):

As illustrated, while most jobs are discovered within the first 24 hours, our system continues to find additional positions over subsequent weeks. This means:

• Initial job counts for the current day may appear lower than final numbers
• Job discovery continues over time, increasing the total count
• You'll see the most comprehensive data after about 2-3 days
