How Qualcomm posts

Employer behavior measured from this employer’s own listings, including ones that have since closed.

95.7%
of open roles publish a salary range
73.6%
of its listings are still up 30 days after appearing
16.0%
of those closed while an identical title stayed posted
656
listings we saw close in the last 90 days

Open roles are down 10 from a week ago (585 then).

Half of Qualcomm’s listings come down within 59 days.

Estimated over 1,231 listings, of which 656 closed during the window — listings still up are counted as lasting at least as long as we have seen them, rather than being left out. Leaving them out is what makes a plain average of closed listings read far too short.

The repost figure describes the 657 of this employer’s listings we have watched close since September 2026 — not all of its hiring, and not a rate we project forward. A repost means the listing closed while the same employer had another live listing under the same title: a signal, not a verdict, since two genuinely separate openings can share one title. See the methodology.
