There's been many a discussion here about companies holding out for the perfect candidate, curious to see how many jobs go unfilled for how long.

It would probably hard to get accurate data on that, because a single job posting does not necessarily represent a single position. It represents a role that can be filled multiple times.

For example, basically every company is always hiring for a "Software Engineer" role. No company is publishing a new job description every time they hire a new Software Engineer.
