RecentlyPostedJobs vs Indeed
Why RecentlyPostedJobs is better than Indeed at finding newly posted software, data science and AI jobs.
The largest public job index — built for volume, sponsored slots, and every occupation.
| When you are looking | Indeed | RecentlyPostedJobs |
|---|---|---|
| Where jobs come from | Employers, agencies, and scraped pages | Probed employer career portals |
| What “new” means | Index recency, including sponsored slots | First-seen in the last 7 days |
| Same job posted again | Duplicates from agencies are common | One id, one first-seen date |
| Where you apply | Often Indeed’s own apply flow | Employer job page |
| Role mix | All occupations | Software, data science, and AI |
What Indeed is
Indeed aggregates employer posts, scraped pages, and staffing-agency copies of the same role. Sponsored jobs sit above organic matches. The same software opening can appear several times under slightly different titles because agencies and the employer both submitted it.
Why that is a weaker way to find new jobs
Volume is the product. A “posted today” filter still mixes employer-original roles with agency reposts and Indeed-hosted applications. For a software engineer trying to reach the hiring manager’s actual requisition, that extra copy is delay and duplication, not signal.
Why RecentlyPostedJobs is better
- One company maps to one career system. We do not ingest Indeed, agency mirrors, or other boards.
- A job is keyed by company plus employer requisition id, so staffing copies do not create a second “new” listing.
- The recent feed is a 7-day window, not an infinite index with a recency sort.
- Apply is the employer URL we verified in a live probe — not an Indeed apply interstitial.
- Software, data science, and AI are the entire board, so a “posted today” view is not buried under every other occupation Indeed sells.
- We would rather omit an employer than ingest an agency mirror. Coverage is probed career sites, not an infinite index.
