How we check the jobs we send

Why we check

A posting on a job board can be closed already, list no pay, or never have been real. So the jobs our system sends are checked before you see them.

These checks are automated. A person does not approve each of those jobs one by one, so the checks are the safeguard. Once in a while a person on our team adds a job by hand after reviewing it.

The checks, in order

A posting has to pass every check. If it fails one, we don't send it.

1. It is on the employer's own site. We find the job on the employer's careers site or applicant system. A job board copy never counts, and neither does a recruiter posting that hides the employer.
2. It is still open. We read the employer's posting before the job reaches you, and recheck it daily. Closed, filled, expired or gone means we don't send it.
3. The employer states the pay. No posted pay means we don't send it. A ceiling alone ("up to $80,000") doesn't count, and neither does "earning potential". On-target earnings are labeled as such, with base pay when the employer posts it.
4. The details are real. The posting must give the duties, the requirements, and the location or remote rule.
5. It is in your area. On site and hybrid jobs must be in New Jersey, the five New York City boroughs, or Nassau, Suffolk, Westchester or Rockland County. Remote jobs must be open to people in your state. If the posting doesn't say which states it hires in, the card asks you to confirm.
6. The commute fits your limit, or is close to it. We estimate travel time from your home area, the way you told us you travel, and write it as an estimate: "about 35 minutes". A commute close to your limit is sent with a heads-up on the card. Clearly over your limit is not sent.
7. The pay meets your floor. If the top of the posted range is below your pay floor, we don't send it. If the range starts below your floor but reaches it, the card says so.
8. It follows your rules. Your work setting, employers you ruled out, shifts, weekends, work you don't want, and the work preferences you saved, such as pay type, schedule and travel. When a posting plainly breaks one, we don't send it.
9. It shows no scam or ghost-job signs. For example: asking for money or bank details before an offer, contact only through a personal email or chat app, or the same posting reposted for months.
10. You don't already have it. A job already in your portal, or one you already applied to, is not sent again. We check this first and again right before a job is added.

A second check before it reaches you

When a posting passes, we write its job card. Then a separate automated checker tests that card against the posting text. Its only job is to find faults.

It confirms that the employer, title, location and pay match the posting, and that every statement about you comes from your resume and the rules you gave us. If anything fails, we fix it and run a fresh check. If it still fails, the job is held for a person to review.

What we never do

• Apply for a job for you.
• Contact an employer or recruiter as you.
• Log into your accounts.
• Invent pay or details. When we convert hourly pay to a yearly figure or estimate a commute, we label it as our math.
• Send a job we could not read on the employer's own page.

After a job reaches you

• We keep checking. A daily posting check marks any job whose posting has closed since we sent it.
• Ask about any job. Answer Question instead of Yes or No, in your portal or from the email. You get an automated answer within about an hour. Anything that needs a person gets a reply within 1 business day.
• Tell us when a job was wrong. Your portal's weekly check-in, "How are your matches this week?", has room to say what to change. You can also use Give feedback in the portal menu.

What we can't promise

• We don't promise any job, interview or offer.
• Commute times are estimates.
• Pay is what the employer posted, and the employer can change it.
• A posting can close or change between our check and your application, even right after we check it.
• Automated checks can make mistakes. That is one reason you decide where to apply and send every application yourself.

The full terms have the rest.
