Editorial Policy & Standards

1. Our Commitment to Truthful Career Advice

The job search industry is crowded with exaggerated claims, unsubstantiated statistics, and algorithmic "hacks" that often lead candidates astray. At JobAthlete, our editorial mission is to publish only actionable, verified career guidance grounded in technical reality.

2. Sourcing & Verification Methodology

• Official Platform Documentation: We cite documented developer and hiring guidelines directly from major employment platforms (such as LinkedIn and Indeed).
• Established Career Standards: We reference verified formatting frameworks from accredited university career offices (including Harvard Office of Career Services) rather than unsubstantiated internet rumors.
• No Fabricated Statistics: We do not cite unsourced statistics or claim guaranteed hiring outcomes. When real metrics are cited, the underlying study or platform source is credited.

3. Independence & Product Disclosure

JobAthlete is both a software tool (Chrome extension) and a publisher of career educational material. Whenever our content references or compares JobAthlete with other tools, we provide a prominent Editorial Disclosure informing readers that we developed JobAthlete. We strive to describe competing tools objectively based on their published features and public pricing.

4. Updates & Corrections Policy

Hiring software and job board policies change rapidly. We routinely audit our articles and update them when platform terms or parsing practices evolve:

• Review Cadence: Guides are reviewed semi-annually. Substantial revisions update the article's modified date.
• Handling Corrections: If you identify a factual error, broken link, or outdated recommendation, please contact our editorial team at [email protected]. We verify and correct confirmed errors within 48 hours.
