Job Recommendations shown in the Career Path Explorer are sourced from our Job Search aggregators. We source data about open roles from major providers such as Adzuna, Careerjet, and more.

Location data is sourced based on your IP address and then compared to data from the closest metropolitan area and local region. ​
