More precise work mode and remote classification

jobdataapi.com v4.40 / API version 1.37

We’ve improved how has_remote and work_mode are detected. Workplace types published by employers and recruiters (hybrid, remote or on-site) are now used directly when a listing is imported, together with labelled workplace fields and recruiter workplace tags in job descriptions. Hybrid and remote roles are recognised more reliably, while on-site roles and descriptions that only mention remote or hybrid technology no longer set has_remote=true.

The two fields now follow one consistent rule. work_mode is only set for jobs with has_remote=true: 1 (Hybrid), 2 (Remote), 3 (Remote Anywhere), or 4 when a remote or hybrid signal exists but the exact mode is unclear. Jobs with has_remote=false (on-site or no stated work arrangement) have work_mode=null.

Existing open listings are being corrected to the same rules over the next days, so you may see has_remote and work_mode change for some jobs, mostly fewer 4 values on jobs without a remote signal. Field names, values, filters and access tiers are unchanged: the work_mode field and filter remain available to API access pro customers and higher.

See the Jobs API Endpoint Documentation for details.
