Where does this Japan hiring data come from?
From the official careers sites of the companies hiring in Japan, which JobYap (jobyap.com) keeps constantly updated from the primary source. Openings, salaries, locations and work modes are extracted from the postings themselves; JobYap's tracking of Japan goes back to July 2026.
Open-position counts are reconstructed from when each listing was seen on the company's careers site: a job counts as open from its publish date (or first sighting) until it was last confirmed, so a posting that briefly disappears and returns reads as continuously open. Added counts postings published during the period; Removed counts postings that disappeared from the company's careers site, as detected on the next update.
