Methodology

Figures cover every job Arbeitnow has recorded for Germany, including postings that have since been filled or removed, since a listing that's no longer live is still part of hiring history. Numbers are recomputed once a day, so today's "open right now" count can move faster than the rest of the page. Employment type and sector are read from each posting's own free-text type and tags rather than a fixed taxonomy, so a small share of postings don't cleanly match a category and are grouped as "Other / unspecified". Four-day week, relocation, and visa sponsorship come from the same detection Arbeitnow uses to tag those job pages elsewhere on the site; a posting held back before it was ever published won't have been evaluated for them. English-speaking reflects the job's own listed language.
