How matching works

A candidate and a posting match when every one of the following checks passes. Each check is a stated requirement or a stated term — matching is deterministic rule-checking, computed identically for everyone.

  1. The posting is open and discloses its compensation range.
  2. The posting's work model is one the candidate accepts, and the currencies match.
  3. The top of the posting's range meets the candidate's stated minimum (if they set one).
  4. Every evidence requirement on the posting is met by the candidate's approved claims at the required strength or higher — stated, has a source, or confirmed by a collaborator.
  5. No application or connection already exists between them.

What is deliberately absent

How much of the pool an employer sees

Being discoverable puts you in a pool, not in a directory. Verifying a domain proves an employer controls it; it does not prove the posting is real. So the number of candidates who match is free to read, and the names are rationed:
