How do I avoid reposted engineering jobs?
A repost is the same role republished with a new date. DirectJobSource shows the employer's posted date next to the date it first saw the job, and neither one can be rewritten.
Aggregators show the same job many times: once from the employer, and again from every recruiter and mirror that copied it. Because DirectJobSource reads each employer's board once, a job appears once, under the employer that owns it.
Some applicant tracking systems reset the posted date when a role is republished. DirectJobSource stamps the moment its own pipeline first saw each posting and never changes that stamp, so a posting that looks new but was seen months ago says so.
Postings the employer dated more than ninety days ago are dropped rather than shown forever, and a posting that leaves its board is closed within hours.
