Who's hiring this week
Surveyed Oct 31, 2026: a snapshot of employer job boards, not live counts.
83,703
US job postings new to our index, Oct 25–31, 2026, from the 17,654 employer job boards we track.
At least 46,652 of them (56%) carry no employer date; we date those by the day our crawler first saw them. So this counts what is new to us, not what employers published this week.

New postings by role family
40,345 of this week’s postings have a title our role list recognises. The other 43,358 (52%) have titles it does not place yet; they are counted in the total and shown apart, not guessed.
With 52% unassigned, the order of the families can change once those titles are placed, so we do not say which family leads. The boards we track lean toward tech employers, so read these as the market we see, not the whole US market.

Remote jobs open now
Where the workplace is known, about 22% of postings are remote; for software roles, 17%. The workplace is known for only 13.8% of postings (44.7% of software postings), so these shares describe that part.

Source: NextJobOffer job index, public employer job boards. Surveyed Oct 31, 2026. Workplace is known for 362,445 of 2,618,545 postings in the snapshot, open or closed (13.8%: location, the employer’s workplace field, or the posting text); the rest are left out of the shares, never counted as on-site.
Under 1 in 100 mention sponsorship
We read the full text of 110,680 postings at a US location and sorted what each says about work authorization. 81.3% say nothing at all, so silence is not a no: most employers simply do not say.
- Mentions sponsorship 0.3%
- Says no sponsorship 5.5%
- Citizens only or clearance 12.9%
- Says nothing 81.3%
Method: the posting text is matched against fixed phrases, first match wins: citizenship, clearance or ITAR wording; then “unable to sponsor” and similar; then “visa sponsorship is available” and similar, with a “sponsor” inside a negative sentence counted as no.
None of the software roles we break out has 50 or more read postings that mention sponsorship, so we do not compare roles: a share built on a few dozen postings would rank noise.
On a visa? Ask your school’s DSO (students) or an immigration attorney; a posting’s wording is not a promise either way.
Source: NextJobOffer job index, public employer job boards. Surveyed Oct 31, 2026. n = 110,680 postings at a US location whose text we read (mostly Greenhouse, Ashby and Lever boards). These boards lean toward startups and tech, so the citizens-only share across all US postings is likely higher.
Who has the most open roles
Employers with the most open postings in each role, each job counted once: a job listed on several of an employer’s sites, under several spellings of its name, or again in a job feed counts one time. Staffing and job-site names, and IT-services and outsourcing firms, are listed apart, not ranked.

How we count
What it is. A count of postings on 17,654 public employer job boards in the US (Greenhouse, Ashby, Lever, Workday and other applicant tracking systems), not of every US job. The boards were chosen because they list at least one software-like role at a US location, so tech and large employers are over-represented. Postings only on LinkedIn or Indeed, and in-house career pages we do not read, are missing.
New to our index. A posting counts when the employer dated it in the seven days to Oct 31, 2026, or, with no date, when our crawler first saw it in that window. At least 56% of this week’s count has no employer date, and our crawler was still reaching boards this week, so the number is what is new to us, not what employers published. Posting dates from applicant tracking systems can reset when a job is reposted. We compare weeks only once two snapshots exist whose boards were all being read before their week began.
Roles and levels. Roles come from the job title against a fixed list of more than 80 roles; titles it does not recognise are shown as not yet sorted. Levels come from words in the title (intern, senior, staff, manager).
Remote. One number everywhere: open postings that are remote anywhere in the US, in named states or worldwide, less those whose own text asks for office days. The shares use the postings whose workplace we know (location, the employer’s workplace field or the posting text); unknown is left out, never counted as on-site.
Work authorization. One base for every sponsorship number on this page: the 110,680 postings at a US location whose full text we read. Each is sorted by fixed phrases, and one that says nothing is counted as saying nothing, never as no. “Mentions sponsorship” means the text says sponsorship is available; it is not a promise, and this page is not immigration advice.
Companies. Each job counts once: rows that share a job number, requisition number or link are one posting, and the same title at the same location on two of an employer’s boards counts once per opening. Name variants are merged; staffing firms, job sites and IT-services firms are listed apart.
What we do not publish. We do not call any posting fake or a ghost job, and we do not name employers for how long their postings stay up. Our labels for those are not accurate enough yet.
Corrections. If a number here is wrong, we correct it on this page with a dated note. Write to us from the contact page.
