How the labels work
Quiet Roles reads each job posting and labels what it says. This page explains where the jobs come from, what each label means and where the method can go wrong.
Where the jobs come from
Most company career pages run on a job-board service. Quiet Roles reads the public feeds of four of them: Greenhouse, Lever, Ashby and Workable. A listing here is the company's own posting, and the Apply button opens the company's own page. Nothing is copied from other job boards, and no company pays to appear.
Only remote jobs are kept. A job counts as remote when the company marks it remote or lists a remote location.
The rule every label follows
A label is shown only when a sentence in the posting supports it, and that sentence is printed beside the label. If the software proposes a label but the sentence it quotes is not word for word in the posting, the label is thrown away. When a posting says nothing on a subject, the label reads Not stated.
What each label means
- Phone: No phone
- The posting says the job has no phone calls, or is chat or email only.
- Phone: Rare calls
- The posting says calls happen rarely or occasionally.
- Phone: Some calls
- Calls are one of several ways of working, such as phone, chat and email together.
- Phone: Mostly calls
- Calls are the main work, such as inbound or outbound calling.
- Experience
- None needed, some needed, or a number of years, as the posting states it.
- Degree
- Required, or not needed. A posting that accepts equivalent experience counts as not needed.
- Live in
- Where the posting says you must live or have the right to work. If it only gives a location, that location is quoted.
- Pay
- The figure the company wrote, by the hour or by the year. Quiet Roles never estimates pay.
- Hours
- Flexible, set hours, or shifts, when the posting says.
How often jobs are checked
Each company's feed is read on a schedule. A new job appears after the next read. A job that has left the company's page is marked closed after it is missing from two reads in a row, so a short outage at the company does not remove its jobs by mistake.
Where it can go wrong
Postings are read by software. A company may describe a job loosely, or say one thing in the posting and another in the interview. A posting that never mentions the phone may still involve calls, which is why such jobs are labelled Not stated and kept out of the no-phone list.
