How This Data Is Collected
Every number in this issue is computed from official applicant tracking system (ATS) feeds published by the companies themselves — currently Greenhouse (6,448 roles), Ashby (4,569 roles), Lever (1,246 roles). H-1B sponsorship status is cross-referenced against the public USCIS H-1B Employer Data Hub. We do not scrape job aggregators and we do not estimate.
