How roaz works

roaz answers one question: where is your field actually hiring right now? This page is the honest version of how we do that — what the numbers mean, how we sort jobs into fields, and the things we deliberately don't show because we'd rather leave a gap than guess. If a number here helps you trust the ones on the rest of the site, it did its job.

~1.1M live vacancies · ~90k companies tracked (~60k hiring right now) · 22 hiring systems · re-checked against employers' systems every 48h · 23 fields across many countries · as of 2026-07-14

What roaz shows

Every vacancy on roaz is drawn from a snapshot we re-check against employers' own systems at least every 48 hours. If a role comes down, it drops off roaz within about a day — so you'll hit far fewer of the “this job is no longer available” dead ends that plague the big aggregators.

How we count

When a field page says “4,000 live vacancies in Germany,” here is exactly what's in that number. A role is counted only if it is:

Not every company is hiring right now — and we say so. We track ~90k companies across their hiring systems, live or quiet; ~60k of them have a role open right now — those are the ones whose vacancies you actually see. When we talk about coverage we mean companies we watch, not companies guaranteed to be hiring this minute.

The count you see on a field page is the same count the search inside your account can list — we compute them through one gate, so the headline never promises more than the results deliver. We say live and tracked, never “posted this month” — see the next section for why that distinction matters.

How we classify

Jobs are sorted into fields by reading the job title with a set of rules, plus a second, more precise layer of tech specialties (backend, AI/ML, DevOps, security, and so on) for software roles.

We want to be plain about this: classification is approximate. It's rule-based and best-effort — a title like “Analyst” or “Consultant” can genuinely belong to several fields. We continuously measure it against a hand-curated gold set of real job titles and keep improving it; the tech-specialty layer is the more precise of the two. Think of the fields as navigation, not a verdict — a fast way to get near the right pile of jobs, not a claim that every single title is filed perfectly.

What we don't guess

Plenty of job sites fill gaps with estimates. We'd rather show nothing than show you a number we can't stand behind. So, on purpose, roaz does not show:

Coverage caveats

A ranking is only as honest as its coverage, so here is where ours has edges — and what we do about each:

How we improve

The point of being this transparent is that it gives us something to improve against:
