Check the evidence behind a HireTea guide

Name: HireTea public source inventory
Creator: Yuseok Jeong
License: https://hiretea.com/terms/#content-license

Use this inventory to open the public records behind each company case and check when they were reviewed. Current linked sources are shown separately from older audit-batch totals so a historical research count is never mistaken for a live employer instruction.

13 company hubs in this inventory

158 source-backed facts covered

253 linked source records tracked

242 claims checked in source audits

Quick answer

Which source should you trust first?

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. The source review separates supported claims, claims with visible limitations, excluded claims, and claims needing fresh verification so unsupported details do not silently become applicant guidance.

Preferred evidence

Employer career pages, public policy pages, benefits pages, active postings, and government references carry the most weight.

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 published guide set contains

Signal	Current count	How HireTea uses it
Source-backed company facts	158	Consolidated into company hubs with visible linked source records and access dates.
Linked source records	253	Used to keep company pages tied to visible public references instead of unsupported summary text.
Preferred linked-source records	252	Used as the stronger evidence layer when a page discusses process, pay, requirements, or applicant next steps.
Lower-confidence source signals	1	Used as question-discovery signals only; applicants should not treat them as final instructions.
Links with access or update dates	253	Used to decide whether a page should be refreshed before the published guide set expands.
Source-backed topic facts	158	Used when a hiring topic needs a visible fact box tied to a public source and access date.
Historical audited source rows	353	Recorded in source-register batches; kept separate from the current public-link count after later refreshes.
Historical batch-curated sources	163	Counts sources promoted during recorded batches; it does not claim the current public list still has the same size.
Checked hiring claims	242	Used to keep supported claims, mark caveats, and hold weaker claims out of applicant-facing copy.
Follow-up audit claims	21	Used as cleanup work, not as public-page evidence, until a later review resolves each item.
Companies with audit stats	13	Used to show which company hubs expose source-verification metadata in their fact sheets.

Verification layer

How historical source audits become public evidence

A historical source-register batch can be larger than the current public link list. Only a curated subset is promoted, and later field refreshes can add, replace, or remove public links without rewriting the old batch totals. Claims without enough support or needing a fresh review stay in the research notes, which protects public pages from inheriting weak or stale claims while preserving the source trail.

Source Register

Audited URLs are counted by source type, including official company, vendor, regulator, operator, mirror, third-party, user-generated, and dead or unverified rows.

Claim Verification

Hiring claims are either retained with support, retained with an explicit limitation, excluded, or held for fresh verification before they can influence public guidance.

Curated public sources

Company pages show a smaller source set with tier badges so readers see the evidence layer without turning each page into a raw URL dump.

Company coverage

Company source coverage in the published guide set

This table shows the source coverage for each company hub currently included in the published guide set. A higher linked source record 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.

Source links

Public links sampled from the source trail

The links below are a sampled public reference trail from the published guide set, not the full audit corpus. External links open in a new tab, and weaker signals are labeled so readers understand that they are prompts for verification rather than final employer instructions.
