Our six standards · from the Global Employer Pledge

Six standards. Every live role tested against them.

The left column is what we found
Obvious
publishes against each standard, with the source. The right column is computed from every live listing, every 30 minutes. These are our standards, not promises
Obvious
has made — the same six for every employer. A standard is met when both columns agree. Where we can't find or measure something, we say so — we never assume a standard is met.
The right column is computed from the live listings of
Obvious
every 30 minutes and is already real. The left column is what
Obvious
publishes, and we haven't read it yet — so nothing here is marked met or not met until we have. Work at

A standard is met when every live listing meets it, partly met when some do, and not met when none do. It is unverified when we have no way to check it yet; an unverified standard is never counted as met. For an employer that has signed the pledge, these six are also promises — and a 'not met' is published as one.
This page is not indexed by search engines until the assessment is published. A standard is met when every live listing meets it, partly met when some do, and not met when none do. It is unverified when we have no way to check it yet; an unverified standard is never counted as met. For an employer that has signed the pledge, these six are also promises — and a 'not met' is published as one.
The revealed half, drawn out

Where the roles are.

Every live listing says where you must be, or that it doesn't matter. This is what the listings say about who may apply, read straight off each post every 30 minutes.

roles could be taken from anywhere on earth.
A role can be open to more than one country, so a per-country breakdown overlaps. It is not on this page yet; the restriction count on the right is read from every listing.
Restrictions on the roles

Listings that carry a reason you might not be allowed to apply: a visa restriction, or a requirement to be near an office.
