What employers state they pay. Measured, not surveyed.
Stop defending numbers you can't trace. PayEvidence keeps a point-in-time record of employer-published pay ranges and hiring activity, so compensation, strategy and data teams can put a public source behind every figure they present.
52.8% of open roles state pay Measured across 132,760 open roles at 1563 companies. EU roles in this sample disclose at 44.9% (n=31311) — the gap the EU Pay Transparency Directive is designed to close. This is source-specific evidence, not a labor-market census.
From job rows to usable signals
One evidence layer, three workflows. Every aggregate can be traced back to public source rows.

Live benchmarks built only from employer-published ranges — each with its sample size in the open.
What this panel is
- Employer-published job facts, observed directly on public ATS boards and snapshotted append-only.
- Stated pay only: a salary enters the panel when the employer wrote one, never modeled or imputed.
- Source-linked: every row keeps its public URL, observation time and extraction confidence.
What it is not
- Not a labor-market census — the sample skews to technology-sector employers; the live sector mix is published per company.
- Point-in-time by construction: every series grows from its first observation and is never backfilled — the exact window of each series is stated on the methodology page.
- Not survey data — no self-reported salaries, no scraped personal profiles, no private data of any kind.
Coverage, field completeness and known biases are published per company. Methodology →
History that cannot be bought back
Anyone can copy today's job boards. Nobody can reconstruct the day-by-day record of what was open, at what stated pay — we measured only ~0.09% of it to be recoverable from archives. Every collection cycle widens that gap.
Sparse archive captures are kept as isolated evidence, never blended into the live series. Synthetic history is never mixed into production.
