As a hiring manager, I have to write the job description. HR is responsible for posting the damn thing where people can see it, then into the ATS you go. We also know recruiting posts can be a source of competitive intelligence and signal for investors. We don't want it used that way, but we're aware of it. Bit of a dirty secret. That means, alas, the only people hurt are the applicants looking for work. I'll work through the queue when I have a billet to fill, but otherwise... You're shouting into the void. Not sure who is responsible for reporting headcount increases to BLS, but I've actively looked and never found the person. So... I honestly have no idea how they get their numbers unless there is a pipeline from the major payroll processors; which feels kinda ick if you think about it.

This says statistics, i've seen unsourced articles saying that they pull Unemployment Insurance numbers as part of it which are part of the payroll process, but BLS seems to say sampling and surveys.
I know, I've just... never found someone who says, "Oh! The BLS survey? That's meeeee! I fill it out!" Ever. Admittedly I haven't necessarily hit up any other platforms, so maybe those people don't visit HN. Totally viable explanation. But... Still pretty weird when I've been periodically poking for years now but never seem to locate anyone who even claims to know of or have been annoyed by having to implement the process of responding. Might bump this search up my todo list for hahas.
