Methodology
Every number on this site is sourced
No made-up statistics. No aggregator guesses. Every number we cite traces back to a named study, a named agency, or our own audited platform data.

Our own data
Anonymized Jobeezy platform numbers (applications sent, ghosts filtered, interview conversion) get published in the changelog on a rolling basis. The smallest group we ever share is a metro-by-role cohort of 200+ applications. When we cite a platform metric we label it (Jobeezy platform data).
What we refuse to cite
- The famous "75% of resumes get rejected by ATS before a human sees them" line — the original source is a defunct company whose methodology was never disclosed. We use Jobscan's 97.8% ATS-usage number instead.
- Generic aggregator claims with no named study behind them.
- Vendor-commissioned surveys with sample sizes under 200 or undisclosed methodology.
