How we count

  • The ads

    Open job ads in Krakow that CVtly found on company career sites, public job portals and a few job boards at its last check. Ads that look closed are left out, and so are ads whose working language it cannot tell with enough confidence.

  • Explicit or implied

    Explicit: the ad or its title asks for Polish in words. Implied: the ad is written in Polish and the job is done in it, so the ad does not need to say so.

  • The same check as your interview chance

    CVtly reads the languages of each ad with the same check it uses to score your chance of an interview.

  • Date and sample
