The Data score on job posting details APIs

The score is the share of a job posting the call returns, out of 100. First we read each job's page on the employer's site and count every part the page shows. Some boards, like Greenhouse and Lever, put no job record on the job's page. For these jobs we read the record the board serves for the page through the board's public API. For each job we called, we take the share of the parts we count that the call filled. Then we average across the jobs. A job it didn't find counts as 0. A value that differs from the page doesn't count. We count the job's own details. We leave out parts the provider works out from the job text, like skills. We also leave out parts it brings from other pages, like the employer's ratings. Greenhouse, Lever and Recruitee are job board APIs. Each takes only jobs on its own board. Some providers take only IDs from their own job search. We called no provider on all the jobs. Each provider's score comes from the jobs we called it on.
