5.2% of 1,414,044 open roles across 13,513 employers have been relisted at least once. Our record now reaches further back, so this is not comparable with the edition of 2026-09-08 (3.6%). JobShifu measures this by crawling employer applicant-tracking systems directly rather than buying a job feed, so it sees a requisition close and reopen on the employer's own board.
A relisted role is not automatically a bad sign. A hire can fall through, a budget can be re-approved, a team can genuinely reopen a search. What it does tell you is that the posting you are looking at has been through this before, which is worth knowing before you spend an evening on the application.

By country
60 countries clear the reporting floor, ordered by relist rate. Each row is every open role JobShifu saw on an employer board in that country, not a sample. 4,679 further open roles could not be resolved to a country and are in the dataset rather than in this table.

Each country broken down by function is in the dataset below rather than on its own page.
What a rate cannot tell you
A rate describes a market. It cannot tell you whether the posting you are looking at is one of them. That is a different question, and it is settled by one requisition's own crawl history: the date the posting was first seen, whether the same requisition was listed before, and how long it has been up since.

Common questions
What does it mean when a job is reposted?
In this measurement it means the same role at the same employer in the same place came off an applicant-tracking system and went back up at least seven days later. The seven days matter: a listing that reappears within hours is an edit, and a gap of a day or two is more often our crawler blinking than an employer acting, so neither is counted here. That is also narrower than what a job board shows, where a listing can be refreshed or re-dated without the employer touching the role at all.
How often do job postings get reposted?
About one in 19 open roles, or 5.2% of the 1,414,044 roles watched at 13,513 employers. The rate moves with the work: Retail leads the larger categories at 9.2% and Marketing trails at 1.5%. By level it runs from 8.4% for entry level roles down to 1.1% for director roles.
Should you reapply to a reposted job?
This measurement cannot tell you. It counts how often a requisition comes back, not why it came back and not what happened to the people who applied the first time. What it does give you is the base rate: at 5.2% across 1,414,044 roles, a repost is common enough that running into one says nothing in particular about the employer or about your application.
Does LinkedIn repost jobs automatically?
Nothing here measures that, and this report makes no claim about it. Every figure is read from employers' own applicant-tracking systems, so a relist counted here is a role that came down from the employer's own careers page and went back up at least a week later. A listing on an aggregator can be refreshed or re-dated without that happening, which makes them separate events, and only the employer-side one is counted.
How this was measured
Our record now reaches further back. A relist is counted only when the earlier listing is still in our record, which began on 2026-07-02. The 2026-09-08 edition could see gaps of up to about 58 days and this one up to about 80, so it finds relists the earlier one could not see. Over the same 30-day window, on roles first seen after 2026-08-10, the rate was 4.3% in both editions. The figure will keep rising for the same reason until the record stops growing. Editions before 2026-09-30, including the 3.6% published on 2026-09-08, were measured differently and are not comparable with this one.
JobShifu crawls employer applicant-tracking systems directly rather than buying a feed, and re-checks every open posting daily, so it sees a role disappear from a careers page and come back. A posting counts as relisted when the same employer, job title and location was seen listed earlier, went away, and came back at least seven days later. The gap is the whole measurement. Without it a relist rate mostly counts the crawler losing sight of a posting for an afternoon, which is a fact about us and not about the job market.
What is excluded, and why. 37,213 postings reappeared in under a day, which is an employer editing a live listing rather than reopening a closed one. A further 26,557 came back after one to seven days, close enough to our own re-check cycle that we cannot tell an employer's action from our own gap in coverage, so they are reported here and counted in neither direction. Both exclusions are shown rather than quietly applied: a filter you cannot see is one you cannot check.
What changed, and when. Until 2026-09-08 this page counted a relist whenever our own record showed a posting closed and reopened, with no minimum gap. Measured against the crawl audit log, 46.7% of those reopenings happened within 24 hours and only 2.6% had a gap of 14 days or more, so the published rate was roughly 5.3% where the defensible one, published that day, was 3.6%. The figure on this page was too high, we found it in our own data, and this is the corrected version.
What is withheld. Any figure resting on fewer than 25 postings, or spanning fewer than 5 employers, is reported as withheld rather than shown. At that size it describes one employer's hiring, not a market rate. No cells were withheld in this run.
Counts cover roles open on 2026-09-30 and use the same serving rules as the product, so these figures agree with what JobShifu itself shows.
Data and citation
Every figure above comes from one snapshot file, published so the numbers can be checked, replotted or reused: relisting.json (JSON, updated 2026-09-30). It is the same file this page is built from, so there is no version of these numbers that is not in it.
