Tell HN: The German job market is crashing

#1

Post by Sladik »

If we looked at the German Job Market as if it were the stock market, we would say that it's crashing! On the following link you can see my pet project where I have been scrapping the major job offer portal in Germany for over one year. In the last two weeks it has lost 33% percent of all posted job offers and it keeps dropping as a rock :-(

Is there some German/EU law that requires job postings to be available for at minimum one calendar month? Cause that spike at ~30-31 days is real conspicuous.

Or at HR people just defaulting to 30/60/90 days for the posting being automatically removed?

I would assume that it's not due to HR choosing to take them offline, but because that's the interval you pay for them on the platform that was scraped.
