Questions

Which applicant tracking system do space companies use most?

Greenhouse: 40 of the 162 space companies whose roles we read take applications through it, 25%, ahead of Workday (23) and Ashby (19).

How is this counted?

Every night we read each employer's open roles from the system its own careers page runs on, so each company is counted once, under the system its applications go to. 17 of the 162 are read from a source we do not name here (a government jobs portal or the employer's own careers site). A company that moves to another system moves here the day we start reading it there.

Can you list our roles if we use one of these systems?

Yes, free, and with nothing to post: we read your roles from the system you already use. How listing works.
