How we count

  • Every source, counted once

    Government Gazette notices, Job Maldives and vacancies posted on CareersMV. A vacancy found on two boards is merged into one.

  • Open means open

    Not closed, not past its closing date, and still live at its source. Sources are checked every day.

  • Classified, then checked

    Field, role, level, place and terms come from the vacancy text by rules and AI, with people reviewing the unsure ones.

  • From 27 Dec 2023

    When CareersMV began counting every source. Comparisons need full periods, so weeks and 30-day spans are compared whole.

  • Recounted every 10 minutes

    Figures are counted from the live data, Maldives time. Weeks run Monday to Sunday.
