“build a list of 1000 companies that have "splunk" in their job descriptions this past year, excluding these 2 companies - Splunk and Cisco”
The rows cover 641 distinct employers out of the 1,000 requested (64.1% of target), each with at least one job description explicitly mentioning Splunk, drawn from live-web searches across 164 source hosts. Splunk and Cisco, including their legal-name variants, are excluded. 198 employers carry a posting or publication date verified within 10 September 2025 – 10 September 2026; 2 came from searches restricted to that window but have no extractable date; 441 are live postings with no extractable date and lower confidence for the one-year requirement.

Method: 641 rows, one per normalized employer, compiled from live-web searches of employer career sites, applicant-tracking systems, job boards and aggregators for the year 2025-09-10 to 2026-09-10; each retained row explicitly mentions Splunk in a job description. Splunk and Cisco (and legal-name variants) were excluded. "Postings" counts matching posting URLs found per employer. 164 source hosts; no single URL backs more than 16 rows. 198 rows are date-verified, 2 time-scoped without a date, 441 live but undated. This is a partial result, not proof that only 641 qualifying employers exist. Long usage descriptions are truncated for space.
