What this guide helps with
A job page can show known facts and missing fields, but the employer or partner can update the listing between feed refreshes. Verification keeps candidates from over-trusting stale or incomplete data.
Decision guides
What to verify before applying
A practical checklist for checking known, missing, and stale job facts before leaving puntWork for a partner application page.
What to verify
Check final pay, shift pattern, location, contract type, language requirement, certificate or licence requirement, and whether the role is still open on the partner page.
What missing fields mean
Missing fields are not negative facts. They mean the source did not provide enough information, so puntWork should call them out plainly and send you to the source for confirmation.
Evidence labels you will see on puntWork
These labels are the bridge between job listings and the decision guides. They tell you how strong the underlying evidence is before you act on it.
- Source pay values
- Pay or salary text came from the job source. Use it as listing evidence, then confirm it on the partner application page.
- Sampled listings
- The answer comes from visible or inspected listings, not necessarily the full market. Treat it as a useful sample, not a universal claim.
- Active aggregate counts
- Counts come from the filtered active inventory, so they are strongest for market size, category mix, and nearby alternatives.
- Updated today
- The page was refreshed recently, but the partner page can still change first. For applications, verify final details at the source.
