How we review vacancy listings

Our directory is designed around an official recruitment source. Review helps make listings useful; it is not an endorsement of an employer or a guarantee of employment.

Before a listing appears

An editor checks that a submitted vacancy has an identifiable institution or employer, a relevant role, an accessible official source and sufficient application information. The editor compares the title, location, requirements, closing date and application route with that source before approving the listing.

What “source reviewed” means

It means the editor has checked the listing against the cited source. It does not mean that we independently accredit the institution, assess its employment conditions or certify every statement in its advertisement. Candidates should carry out their own checks.

Deadlines and changes

Listings with a recorded closing date stop appearing in current search results after that date. An existing detail page may remain available with an expiry notice. If no closing date is recorded, candidates should check the official notice directly.

Corrections and concerns

We can update or remove a listing when a correction, cancellation or credible concern is identified. Report the listing with the URL, concern and supporting official source. Publication and review times are not guaranteed.
