Notes and limits
- Honest scale. Ostjob.ch is a regional board carrying hundreds to a few thousand active listings, not millions. Best used as one input among several Swiss / Austrian boards
- Salary fields are often empty. Most regional postings do not publish salary in the listing itself
- Contact email present on a subset of postings. Direct employers more likely than recruitment agencies
