Updates
How HireTea keeps hiring guides reviewed
This page explains the review rhythm behind HireTea's published company hubs. It shows which hubs were refreshed recently, what the review checks cover, and how readers can send source corrections before relying on a hiring detail for a real application.
13 published company guides
158 source-backed facts checked
253 linked source records tracked
Quick answer
What counts as a meaningful HireTea update?
A meaningful update is more than changing a date. It checks the company hub, source links, known limitations, indexability, role caveats, and the applicant decision sections that help readers move from broad research to a current posting. If a company page is not strong enough for the published set, it stays out of the public build until its source trail and applicant value are ready.
Applicant impact
Updates prioritize details that affect applying, interviewing, pay expectations, schedules, onboarding, and acceptance decisions.
Correction path
Readers can send the page URL, disputed detail, current public source, and date viewed to the contact email.

A 58-record evidence appendix now documents the published cohort
Version 2026.1 preserves 58 dated
live_posting records across the current 16 public company
hubs. The observations run from 2026-07-12 through
2026-07-22 and retain employer, location, pay, schedule, Apply route,
source, and missing-field evidence. A retained row does not claim that the posting remains open today.
This appendix documents the current publication cohort. It does not revise the Application Transparency Report's fixed 25-employer matrix, 37-record posting sample, two report CSV files, or analytical denominators.
Research release · 2026-07-21
The 2026 Application Transparency Report is now public
HireTea normalized five public-evidence states across 25 employer dossiers and separated that company-level matrix from 37 structured job records. The release includes two source-linked CSV files, explicit denominators, a non-scored codebook, company-specific limitations, and a build-time snapshot check.
Review scope
What gets checked before a page is kept in the published guide set
| Check | Why it matters | Evidence used |
|---|---|---|
| Source trail | Readers need to know whether a hiring detail comes from a public employer source or a lower-confidence signal. | Employer careers pages, postings, benefits pages, policy pages, public filings, and government pages. |
| Known limitations | Role, state, franchise, facility, union, season, and current-posting differences can change the answer. | Visible known-gap notes, source-backed facts, role caveats, and update history notes. |
| Published guide fit | The published guide set should emphasize the strongest pages instead of exposing every possible low-evidence page. | Sitemap rules, robots tags, topic eligibility gates, and ad-eligible page checks. |
| Reader usefulness | A page should help an applicant decide what to verify next, not only repeat generic career advice. | Decision notes, comparison tables, fit worksheets, source boxes, and save-for-later checklists. |
