Wow I did not know this. I knew they screw with the numbers a bit if you ghost them but not actually count it if it’s a non-swe job. I always answer their “monthly checkup” emails to let them know I was still looking so they wouldn’t do things like that. That is so slimy.

If you are answering the check in emails and saying you didn't get a job then they won't count it. If you entirely ghost then they will try to find you and have any friends you had on staff text you to see how life is going and try to get info.
CIRR has two fields to try to counter this:
1. Salary unavailable (so if they count it as a placement because of LI and you ghosted them it would show up in this field)
2. Job placed out of field. The definition is if the skills you learned are needed on the job or not. Codesmith teaches 5 things and only 1 is programming skills, the rest are soft skills, so not sure how they interpret that rule.
