How we count

We count published UK adverts on companies’ own job pages whose titles match the role’s catalogue phrases, every work type together. A skill counts once per advert. The denominator includes all adverts in that role, including those with no recognised skills.

Lists need at least 20 adverts with recognised skills from at least 3 companies, at least 5 naming a displayed skill, and usable coverage for the discipline. We leave out single-letter terms, generic descriptions and eligibility attributes.

This describes UK adverts on companies’ own job pages. It does not measure your ability or predict an interview.
