I'm not sure of the method you're using to obtain this data, but the listing for the company I work for has a wildly inaccurate tech stack. It's also pretty out of date on the open careers, you show one opening (which we're not even hiring for) - we have 12 open positions at the moment.


Hey! That sucks! We're pulling information from job listings/publicly available information at the moment, so not every tech stack is as accurate as we would like it to be :) - Happy to update if you can point out the company and provide information or you can sign up (https://himalayas.app/signup) and change it yourself. You can also send us an email via hi@himalayas.app if it's easier!

As for the open jobs, we do our best to remove any openings that are no longer active but the way we do it isn't perfect + we don't automatically list every open position so that's why we haven't listened all 12 open positions.

Let me know if you have any questions.


How do you update later if the tech stack changes? Also, if the job listing is packed by HR with irrelevant technologies, is it included?


Yep this is the hard part! If job listing contains heaps of technologies in similar categories we try our best not to include them, but it’s not perfect. Any employee can sign up and update the tech stack using their work email too :)


I see the "claim this profile", which I'd like to do but I want to ensure that anyone in the company can do this, it's not an "ownership" assertion, is it?


Yep anyone in the company can do it! :)


Seeing that for my employer too, it lists tech like Elasticsearch, Kafka, Kibana etc that we're 100% not using and would have no mention of either


Damn that sucks! If you can point out the company we can update it or you can sign up with your work email and update it :)


Counter point. Tech stack for my company is fairly accurate. At least accurate enough for any potential applicants to know what they are getting into.


Glad we’re hitting the mark with some of them! :)
