How this is measured
Workog fetches jobs for doctors from public job services (Bundesagentur für Arbeit, EURES, NHS Jobs, Arbetsförmedlingen, job-room.ch) and hospital groups' own careers sites once a day, and counts the jobs open at the end of the UTC day. Specialty and career level are read from the job title; jobs that name neither are counted in the total only. Changes compare the month's last day with the last day before the month began.
