• Pay transparency 25 / 25 A published salary range, worth more than any other single factor because it is what a candidate cannot find out without applying.
• Freshness 12 / 15 How recently it was posted. Older postings are likelier to be filled or abandoned.
• Role specificity 10 / 10 Whether the listing is tagged well enough to tell what the role actually is.

• Description depth 2 / 20 How much the posting actually says about the work, measured in characters of real text.
