Update frequency & delivery

  • Computed from the DataForge jobs pipeline's live ATS collection run (Greenhouse / Lever / Ashby postings with disclosed pay).
  • Cross-checked against official US DOL LCA disclosure wages (public domain) — both anchors ship in the package.
  • Sample bias documented honestly: pay-transparent tech companies skew 35–57% above the all-H-1B DOL median; both yardsticks included.

Compliance & provenance

Collected only from publicly accessible pages and endpoints — no login-required data, no CAPTCHA solving, no forged authentication. Collection is rate-limited with an identified User-Agent, and collection logs are retained. PII is removed or pseudonymized. Every record carries its source URL and collection timestamp. Sold under a tiered commercial license.
