Changelog & data methodology
Aethara is an independent research product. We pull live postings directly from employer ATS boards (Greenhouse, Lever, Ashby), de-duplicate them to one listing per requisition, and score each with a published Hiring Aggressiveness scoring. Apply links route to each employer’s official careers page.
How we collect & score
Hiring Aggressiveness (HA) v4 is a 0–100 evidence-weighted demand read on how hard an employer appears to be hiring for one specific role, computed only from public employer ATS data. When role-level evidence is strong, the exact role controls the score; when evidence is thin, company momentum helps but the score shrinks toward neutral. Each score carries confidence and ghost-risk values so stale, recycled, or thin-data listings cannot fake urgency. Roles older than 30 days (posted or first-seen) are removed automatically.

Canon trust layer — one computed source for all public counts
Homepage, pricing, SaaS, and Explorer now render role totals, HA distribution, paywall copy, and role-taxonomy facets from a single buildCanon() pass over the deduplicated live pool. Cross-page count drift and hardcoded marketing numbers are blocked at build time.

One ATS requisition = one listing
Reqs that an employer posts to several states or offices under a single ATS job id are now collapsed to one canonical listing with a coverage list, instead of one row per location. This removes phantom per-state duplicates (e.g. a remote role cloned across 49 states) and corrects the catalog count, the employer rankings, and per-state page contents.

Deterministic geo bucketing
Every role’s US state is resolved from its apply-id state suffix and reconciled against its bucket, so a role can no longer appear under a state that contradicts its location. Non-US roles are dropped at ingest. Nationwide remote roles display as Remote (US) — never pinned to a syndicated state.
2026-06-22 · Methodology
One HA vocabulary site-wide
Hiring Aggressiveness uses four contiguous bands (Hypergrowth 85+, High 65+, Moderate 45–64, Minimal 0–44). Badges, filters, the 3D map, and marketing copy all use the same labels — no second map vocabulary.

Confidence shrinks thin-data scores
A 0–100 confidence value reflects feed completeness and sample size, and pulls thin-data scores toward 50 so a single sparse listing cannot read as a high-intensity market.
