Methodology and limits

This report analyses current deduplicated opportunities indexed by SpanSam. It describes SpanSam's indexed inventory, not the entire South African labour market.

Signals are counted only from structured vacancy Requirements using the configured SpanSam taxonomy. Missing Requirements are unknown. Counts can change as vacancies open, close or are re-indexed.

Historical movement is not claimed on this topic page until sufficient real daily snapshots exist for a like-for-like comparison.

Current data quality: 816 of 845 current opportunities (97%) have usable structured Requirements.
