This dataset contains 5,093 job postings collected from xe.gr, one of Greece’s largest employment portals, during January and February 2025. Data was gathered using the R programming language and the rvest web scraping library.

Since version 1.3 a secondary classification table is included, produced by an LLM via the ellmer package, which flags each listing for potential age, gender, appearance, or racial discrimination in the job description text.
