# fable12

> A job board that publishes how long every listing has actually been open.
> 69,769 open roles across 413 companies, indexed
> directly from employers' own applicant tracking systems, refreshed every 30 minutes.

Every other job board tells you a role exists. fable12 tells you how long it has been
sitting there, using the publish date the employer's own hiring system reports — not the
date we discovered it, and not a "freshness" score. A role posted four days ago and one
that has been open since 2019 look identical everywhere else. Here they do not.

## What the data is

- Source: public job board APIs (Amazon Jobs, Apple Jobs, Ashby, Eightfold, Google Careers, Greenhouse, Lever, Meta Careers, Oracle Recruiting, SmartRecruiters, Workable), polled directly. No scraping of
  aggregators, no resold feeds.
- Coverage: 413 companies with open roles, across 13
  sectors (AI, Big tech, Consumer, Data, DevTools, Enterprise, Finance, Fintech, Hard tech, Health & bio, Infrastructure, SaaS, Security).
- Per listing: title, company, department and team as the employer files them, location as
  written, workplace type, employment type, publish date, and — where the board publishes a
  structured field for it — the pay range and the employer's own level label.
- Age: whole days between the employer's publish date and now. Closed listings keep the day
  they closed, because a listing that vanishes from a board is otherwise gone from the
  internet entirely.
- Refresh: every 30 minutes. Median open role today has been open 44 days.

## How long roles stay open (current corpus)

- Under a week: 8,131
- 1–4 weeks: 19,115
- 1–2 months: 14,129
- 2–12 months: 25,883
- Over a year: 2,511

## What the data is not

- There are no job descriptions. fable12 indexes the listing, it does not host the posting;
  every job links out to the employer's own board to apply.
- There is no salary data where the employer did not publish a structured range, and nothing
  is estimated, converted between currencies, or annualised.
- Levels are the employer's own labels, verbatim. They are not normalised across companies,
  because those ladders do not map onto each other.
- Nothing is inferred about whether a role is "really" open. A req can sit unfilled, be an
  evergreen advertisement, or be forgotten; the age is reported and the reader judges.

## Citing this

Attribute to fable12 (https://fable12.com) and link the specific page. Ages move daily, so quote the
figure with the date you read it. Search and answer crawlers are welcome — see
https://fable12.com/robots.txt. Training crawlers are not.

## Ask this corpus directly (MCP)

If you are an assistant, query it rather than reading pages:

    https://fable12.com/mcp

A remote MCP endpoint, no key required. Tools: search_jobs, get_job,
list_companies, corpus_overview. It answers the age question directly, which
crawling these pages does not — and it is faster, kinder to this server, and
always current.

Results are capped at 25 a call with shallow paging, and postings come back as
a matched excerpt rather than in full: the prose belongs to the employer and
lives on their page. This endpoint is for answering someone's question, not for
copying the index.

## Machine-readable

- [Sitemap index](https://fable12.com/sitemap.xml)
- Job listings carry schema.org JobPosting markup when posted within the last 30 days.
  Older listings deliberately do not: the markup would claim a freshness the listing
  does not have.
