Preferred evidence
Employer career pages, public policy pages, benefits pages, active postings, and government references carry the most weight.
Source inventory
Public sources behind HireTea's public index
This page lists the public source trail used for HireTea's indexed hiring guides. It gives applicants and reviewers a direct way to see which company hubs have source links, source-backed topic facts, known limitations, and update dates before relying on a hiring detail.
25 company hubs in this inventory
54 public source links tracked
33 source domains represented
Quick answer
How should you read this source inventory?
Treat this as a transparency layer, not a promise that every local posting works the same way. Preferred sources include official employer pages, current posting language, public policy pages, government references, and other materials close to the hiring process. Lower-confidence sources can explain what applicants ask about, but they should trigger a fresh check against the current posting, recruiter message, or candidate portal.
Context signals
Review sites, forums, syndicated listings, and broad summaries can surface applicant questions, but they do not override current employer instructions.
What to verify
Before making a decision, verify the exact job title, location, department, schedule, pay language, and onboarding instructions.
Coverage summary
What the current public index contains
| Signal | Current count | How HireTea uses it |
|---|---|---|
| Public source links | 54 | Used to keep company pages tied to visible public references instead of unsupported summary text. |
| Preferred-source links | 49 | Used as the stronger evidence layer when a page discusses process, pay, requirements, or applicant next steps. |
| Lower-confidence source signals | 5 | Used as question-discovery signals only; applicants should not treat them as final instructions. |
| Links with access or update dates | 54 | Used to decide whether a page should be refreshed before the public index expands. |
| Source-backed topic facts | 27 | Used when a hiring topic needs a visible fact box tied to a public source and access date. |
Company coverage
Company source coverage in the public index
This table shows the source coverage for each company hub currently included in the public index. A higher source count does not automatically make every answer final. It means the page has more public material to compare before an applicant checks the current posting.

Reader workflow
How to use these sources before applying
Start with the exact posting
Use the active job posting, candidate portal, recruiter message, and local hiring contact before treating a broad company page as final.
Compare source dates
If a source date is older than the posting you are reading, prefer the newer posting and save a screenshot or copy of the instruction.
Read known limitations
Known limitations explain when a detail may vary by role, department, location, property, franchise, season, or manager handoff.
Send corrections
Send source updates, broken links, or disputed details to jeongyuseck@gmail.com with the page URL and date viewed.
