Job sourcing methodology

Last updated: 3 August 2026.

This page explains where listings come from, what Synthenova changes, and what candidates should verify before applying.

Sources and attribution

Listings are aggregated from third-party talent and recruiting platforms, currently including Mercor and micro1. Every card and job page names its source. The Apply button opens the source platform, which remains authoritative for availability, eligibility, and the application process.

Refresh and verification sequence

Synthenova regenerates search results from records currently marked active by the source feed. A usable application URL and stable source identifier are required to publish a canonical detail page. Optional source fields such as employer identity, compensation, country restrictions, or an expiry date are preserved when supplied and left undisclosed when absent.

Publishing eligibility

Every deduplicated active source listing receives one canonical job page, JobPosting markup, and an XML sitemap entry. Missing optional fields do not hide an active opportunity from search engines. Schema uses a transparent confidential-employer label when no organization is disclosed and never invents compensation, country restrictions, or an expiry date.

Duplicate handling

Active records with the same normalized role title, employer, and description are treated as one listing in search and sitemap discovery. Newer source records are preferred when exact duplicates exist.

Whitespace and capitalization differences do not make two records unique. A genuinely different employer, role, or description remains a separate opportunity. Near-identical language variants are not merged unless the normalized signature is exact because their eligibility requirements can differ.

Compensation

The source amount, currency, and frequency are preserved when disclosed. For comparison filters, hourly compensation is converted using 40 hours per week and 52 weeks divided by 12. Estimates do not include bonuses, equity, taxes, fees, or unpaid time.

For example, a disclosed rate of 50 per hour normalizes to roughly 8,667 per month using 50 × 40 × 52 ÷ 12. Synthenova does not add a currency to structured data when the source feed has not supplied one, even if a source interface visually suggests a currency symbol.

Freshness and removals

Search results are regenerated regularly from active source records. Inactive jobs are excluded from the sitemap and JobPosting markup. Because source status can change between refreshes, candidates should confirm every detail on the original listing.

Each successful source refresh records a separate verification time. Synthenova also computes a transparent source-quality indicator from freshness, expiry, currency, eligibility, employer identity, and source URL completeness. The indicator describes the listing record, not the quality of the employer or role.

Known limitations

Source feeds do not always provide an expiry date, employer website, logo, currency, or applicant-country restriction. Synthenova omits unsupported structured claims rather than guessing. These omissions can limit the enhancements Google chooses to show, but they do not prevent an active canonical job page from being discovered or indexed.

Change log

On 3 August 2026, Synthenova expanded sitemap and JobPosting discovery to every deduplicated active listing and added a five-guide remote AI work career library.

On 30 July 2026, Synthenova added a dated AI Expert Work Index, browser-local interview-readiness practice, an evidence-limited Mercor and micro1 comparison, attributed partner feeds, and a private anonymous-installation application tracker. Public candidate-outcome aggregates require at least 20 optional contributions.

On 30 July 2026, Synthenova added explicit source-verification timestamps, source-quality signals, and privacy-conscious funnel measurement across search, job views, alerts, and application clicks.

On 29 July 2026, Synthenova introduced stricter description and remote location gates, exact-signature deduplication, source attribution on cards, canonical pagination, permanent slug redirects, and expanded publisher disclosures.
