First, the job board can only tracking "listings", not jobs or hiring. - Perhaps job boards are slowly dying as a way to fill jobs - Perhaps you're not tracking the job boards that are growing the fastest and only the same "nearest" competitors - Perhaps job listings used to exist for jobs that weren't ever hired for, and now listings are more accurate - Perhaps listings used to live for a long time, and now they are filled faster reducing the backlog - Perhaps tech jobs are shifting away from smaller companies that would use a job board and back towards bigger companies that use other methods to hire Lots of other conclusions.
