Where the data comes from

Every listing on this site was read from the employer's own recruitment portal by a deterministic scraper — one recipe per platform, no AI at scrape time, raw HTML archived, and each open listing's application page re-checked nightly. A job that disappears before its stated closing date is marked withdrawn, not deleted. "Open doctor jobs" counts the rows the classifier tagged as PGY2+ doctor jobs and the board shows; "rows held" is the planner's estimate of everything we hold for a portal, doctor or not.
