Methodology
How Timley works
Timley is built to make early-career listings easier to search without making stronger claims than the underlying source can support.
Where jobs come from
Timley combines configured employer job boards with clearly named community discovery lists. Every result opens the employer’s application page, and source labels describe how Timley found it.
What the date labels mean
- Posted
- The date came from a configured employer job board.
- Source reports
- A community source supplied the date; Timley has not treated it as employer-verified.
- Found by Timley
- No usable posting date was available, so Timley shows when the listing was first observed.
A source date newer than Timley’s first observation is called out as a possible repost or source update. It is not silently presented as a brand-new job.
How duplicates are removed
Timley merges exact provider-native identities—such as the same employer board and requisition ID across URL variants. Similar company names, titles, or locations alone are never enough to merge two jobs because employers can publish distinct, look-alike openings.
How results are ordered
A verified employer date can determine recency. Otherwise Timley uses the earlier of its first observation and the source-reported date. Importing an older listing or changing an unverified date cannot make it newly posted. Jobs in the same recency group are grouped by company so related recent openings stay close together.
How eligibility is described
A senior-sounding title alone does not exclude graduates. Employer requirements take precedence. Shortened source titles are labelled instead of being presented as complete, and missing descriptions or compensation are not invented.
Availability and privacy
If the live data service is unavailable, Timley keeps search usable with the last verified bundled snapshot and continues checking in the background. Saves, application statuses, and notes stay in this browser. Timley does not collect résumés or application data.
