Reader value comes first
A page must help a job seeker make a clearer decision. Repeating a vacancy, padding a keyword, or paraphrasing another article is not enough. Useful work explains trade-offs, adds first-party job-index observations, provides steps or comparisons, and states uncertainty.
Source hierarchy
- Original employer pages, official agencies, legislation, public datasets, and first-party job-index records.
- Original reporting and established professional or academic sources with direct relevance.
- Aggregators and discovery services only as leads; they do not replace the underlying evidence.
- AI output is never cited as an independent factual source.
AI assistance
AI may help organize a brief, classify a role, summarize supplied evidence, identify gaps, or improve readability. Published copy must remain bounded by the source pack and first-party data. If evidence is thin, the page should be shorter, held for review, or not published.
We prohibit invented quotations, employers, credentials, statistics, dates, citations, and fake first-hand experience. Scaled pages that differ only by a keyword or date are consolidated or kept out of search.
Job listings and indexability
Imported jobs receive freshness, source, duplicate, expiry, location, and description-quality checks. Active status alone does not create a right to indexing. Expired, duplicate, source-weak, or low-information pages are excluded from the sitemap or removed. The detailed rules are published in our methodology.
Review, authorship, and updates
Pages identify the responsible editorial byline, publication or review date, and visible citations where appropriate. Data-driven pages are updated when the underlying dataset changes materially. A changed timestamp must reflect a real content or evidence update, not a cosmetic refresh.
Independence, advertising, and conflicts
Advertising does not control rankings, match scores, editorial conclusions, or correction decisions. Sponsored material must be labeled. A commercial relationship that could reasonably affect reader trust should be disclosed on the relevant page.
Corrections
Substantive errors are checked against source evidence and corrected transparently. Requests are handled under the corrections policy; disagreement alone does not require removal of accurate, lawfully published information.
