How we count
The ads
Open job ads in Vienna 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 German in words. Implied: the ad is written in German 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.
