We seem to have come full circle!
I saw the tram ad again today, it says "
A new job every 30 seconds".
Noting the words "new" and "job", let's recap.
You correctly pointed out that a "job" is different from an advert, or a "job posting" as your "legal bit" says.
You confirmed that you have no way of telling how many unique JOBS are on Seek at any one time.
The "legal bit" on your ads seeks to justify the ad by saying it is based on "job postings", yet, as you have so painstakingly pointed out, numbers of "job postings" or adverts have no correlation to "new jobs" or even old jobs for that matter.
Everyone knows that there are duplicated job ads on Seek, because the same job is often advertised in different categories and/or different locations, or they can simply be reposted as a new ad so that they rank higher in the search results. Also, we know that multiple recruitment agencies are often advertising the same job at the same time.
Considering the facts above I cannot see how anyone could not come to the conclusion that your ad is misleading.
