Is there some German/EU law that requires job postings to be available for at minimum one calendar month? Cause that spike at ~30-31 days is real conspicuous.
Or at HR people just defaulting to 30/60/90 days for the posting being automatically removed?
- hobofan 4y agoI would assume that it's not due to HR choosing to take them offline, but because that's the interval you pay for them on the platform that was scraped.
- Sladik 4y agoI cannot say if it is a law or the pricing plan but 30 days seems to be the most recurrent job post length. That means that the crash probably started in October and we started seeing it on the data at the beginning of November.
- _aavaa_ 4y agoLooking at it again, I don't think the law idea I put forth makes sense. The pricing plan sounds more likely, especially given the ringing behaviour at multiples of 30/31 days. I guess a large majority of those postings go unfilled. Do you do any work to try to find if a position has been re-posted and recombine it with its previous posting for the purpose of this calculation?
- _aavaa_ 4y agoI don't know if one can draw the October conclusion. Would HR leave the posting up to expire on their own if they know they won't hire anyone? I say that since they seem to remove them (presumably because they got enough applicants or actually hired someone) before the 30/31 day mark.
- HeikeMaria 4y agoNot sure which sources she crawled ... Many of the German job boards require companies to purchase job ads which expire after 30 days.
